If you don't want async/callbacks you are using the wrong framework. Serial code is much easier to deal with. And async/await just hides the complexity under the rug, hoping you'll never get backpressure and other issues. Callbacks take a while to grok, it took me about a year to learn how to juggle all the async calls in my head, which a multi threaded language will do for you. Both have their pro et contra though, with multi-threading you'll be dealing with locks.
