same. i don't like async. i don't like having to prepend "await" to every line of code. instead, lately (in js), i've been playing more with worker threads, message passing, and the "atomics" api. i get the benefits of concurrency without the extra async/await-everywhere baggage.

lol it’s just a very different tradeoff. Especially in js those approaches are far more of a “baggage” than async/await
probably, but i'm petty like that. i just really don't like async/await. i'm looking forward to eventually being punished for that opinion!
