I do that all the time (exaggerated). const p1 = heavy_foo() const p2 = heavy_bar() await some_baz() const r2 = await p2 … return [await p1, r2, …]

I do that all the time (exaggerated). const p1 = heavy_foo() const p2 = heavy_bar() await some_baz() const r2 = await p2 … return [await p1, r2, …] It is useful in “threaded” code which does many things in parallel runs. Or in this code: const [p, done] = block() obj.on("event", done) const res = await p … The implementation of block() is left as an exercise for the reader ;)
