All that stuff you're worried about is just implemented in libraries. Lisp lets you do that. You don't have to wait around years for a ECMA committee or whatnot to provide you a "async" keyword, or any other keyword. The language is flexible enough to let you add it yourself. It's a whole change of mindset.
In practice however, several people probably implemented "async" independently and the community as a whole just settles around a favorite.

Maybe an article or two demonstrating step by step how does one invent their own async runtime exactly would be hugely helpful in terms of credibility. Otherwise it's just handwaving and I am sure you can see it.
