Every single language is able to do ABCDE, except for JavaScript. Yes, I guess that means it's impossible.

The nature of a distributed system is the one you impose onto it by design. Computer systems are not something that appear at nature and we just harvest.
There are plenty of synchronous architectures for distributed systems, from distributed logical clock ones, for clock domain ones. People tend to avoid async ones anyway.
