does anyone actually understand async/await?

If you asked a typical programmer to explain why he put that async before the function name, he would __not__ be able to explain. It's a dangerous tool, used mostly by the autistic ````elites'''' to ackshually-pwn random pajeets.

The typical programmer mostly programs at random. Instead of spending his time productively, such as by reloading the glownigger page on Wiktionary every five minutes to see of the glowies got to Terry's ghost yet.
