> a type system with holes you could drive truck through That's most dynamic languages. (Python is a bit more strong than others, sure, but whatever.) > pretty much every other language has an async implementation that is either just as good or superior Most other languages have async bolted on and a lot of existing libraries are synchronous. Pretty much all JS embeddings (both the browser and various server side things) exposed everything as asynchronous from the beginning using callbacks — and now callbacks easily get wrapped into promises and async/await works with them very well.
