If they await, they’re no longer synchronous functions

• mg 2y ago
  The difference would be that you still can call the function without await. So this would be possible: async function f1() { f2(); } function f2() { await fetch('something'); ... } Instead of having to async each and every function and await each and every function call: async function f1() { await f2(); } async function f2() { await fetch('something'); ... } Which is what TFA complains about and what indeed is a pain in the ass.
