On a similar note, you can now run Scheme in the browser via wasm: https://spritely.institute/hoot/

The current release can do coroutines via the delimited continuation support, but the next release will have ready-to-use lightweight threads (aka "fibers") that integrate with JS promises. No async/await marked functions/calls.

Effect-ts is also built on the same principles (fibers) if one wants to stay in TS land.

As an Obj-C guy, if I declare a method as input only and no return, it can run async in the run loop.

I assume Smalltalk can do the same?
