JavaScript is not multithreaded.

  Javascript as a language isn't, but Javascript code can use multiple threads in various ways.

    And you're implying asynchronous coding is new to JavaScript developers?

      As default architecture? Yes.

        I'd like to see some evidence to back that up. The event loop is one of the few things JavaScript did correctly and it's baked into everything but the most trivial of applications.

          I'll refer to my quote: "The massive number of async-related workarounds, libraries, tooling and code practices says otherwise." It's surprising that JS has so much history with callbacks and events but async methods are unsupported or require workarounds by so many core frameworks and libraries which default to synchronous APIs for everything.
