async/await infecting all of my code, being unable to create a
get myField()method that involves a hash calculation. It may be standard to do heavy lifting concurrently, but async hash functions are certainly not standard in any of the languages I've used (which is quite a few).Given the nature of JS running only on a single thread. Promises/asynchronity is the only way to keep the browser from locking up.
Thus insisting on any other way is a major flaw in the developer not the language.

No no, I think you found the language flaw.
