Have we? JS has its async/await syntax, and you can even handle exceptions with less pain (just uh try not to put multiple awaits in a try block). But there are still a gazillion async libraries in npm indicating things missing from the language or older libraries, and then the rest of the JS/TS ecosystem that from my perspective has only doubled down on some of its worst aspects. It looks more like regression when developing similar to how the ClojureScript guys have enjoyed things since at least 2014 seems further away now than it did then, or how it can be controversial when people like dhh push a "no build" approach.
