That is lovely to hear. I think the general conscious is that not a single programming language has done Async right. So people are a little sceptical. But Andrew and the team so far seems to have the do it right mentality. So I guess people should be a little more optimistic.

Cant wait for 0.15 coming out soon.

I would argue that Java's async is pretty nifty, especially now that some of the rough edges have been sanded off.

What is wrong with async in JS?

[forrestthewoods]

You have to write JS

[mollerhoj]

single threaded, memory requirements, function coloring

> single threaded

The entire language is single thread. But I/O uses a separate thread pool.

> memory usage

Are you talking about extra 120 bytes per Promise?

> function coloring

How does it manifest in JS? You can `await` non-async function without any issues, anything potentially async is awaited, if it doesn't end up doing async inside there is no problem.
