Maybe I’m wrong but the “asynchronous programming started with JavaScript” take doesn’t seem factual.

  Correct, I believe it originated with Microsoft via .Net in the mid-2000s and was picked up by the JS ecosystem much later. The fact that Microsoft had a hand in async/await’s emergence may influence how people feel about it.

      This whole thread reads like backlash to the async hype, not so much the merits of the paradigm itself.

        Yep
