    Ok, I’m a c# developer and I use async await quite extensively. Is it different in JS? Or am I missing something?

      Nah, they’re very similar, really. You generally kick IO heavy stuff you don’t need immediately off to async await.

      There are a few more applications of it in C# since you don’t have the “single thread” to work with like in JS. And the actual implementation under the hood is different, sure. But conceptually they’re similar. Pretty sure JS was heavily influenced by C#'s implementation and syntax.
