You can turn websockets into a flawless request/response with async/await included on like 20 lines of JavaScript. I do it all the time. Generate an ID, make a request, store the promise resolve/reject in a map (js object). Your onmessage handler looks up the promise based on the ID and resolves the promise. Add a few more tiny features like messaging and broadcasting streams and you've got both request/response and push messaging over a single websocket. It's pretty neat in my opinion, saves having to mix HTTP and websockets for a lot of things.
