I’m well aware how async works in the single threaded js environment. All code blocks the main thread! Calling await on an async operation yields back.
You’re right, async is commonly mixed up with multi-threaded. And in fact in many languages the two things work hand in hand. I’m very aware of how it works in JavaScript.
