I like async but dislike await. I spend entirely too much time on everything I build trying to maximize how much I can do in parallel because I find it tremendously satisfying.
Await is usually there either because the performance doesn’t matter and the legibility is much higher with it, and/or because there are a series of asynchronous actions that depend on each other and await lets you write them as if they are sync because related to each other they are.
You probably already know this, or are talking about another language, but JavaScript is inherently single threaded, so unless you’re running blocking I/O in parallel, you won’t actually see any performance boost. Service workers get their own thread though.

I hate asyncs, but I don’t mind the way Python does it.
Kotlin-style async is pretty neat, ngl.
I hate python async with a burning passion but I’ll admit most of it is a consequence of skill issues
What do u hate about it so much? I find it a very intuitive way to do async. Especially with asynchronous loops.

Then Promise.all is for you!
TaskGroup in Python is great
