See: how much JS is rightly and justifiably littered with "await" on seemingly almost every line, now that that's an option. It's downright comical to look at, and as clear a sign of mis-design in a language/runtime as you can get. Nine times out of ten (maybe more...) you just need to treat all that async stuff as synchronous, from the perspective of the current block of code. "Await" or something like it should have been the default behavior of async calls. A great deal of the mess in Javascript over the last couple decades has been due to going the other direction with that default.
