Do you have an example? I’ve never seen a deadlock in Js. I’m trying to think of how it’s even possible? Async/await is just super around promises anyway.

Oops, should've specified C# specifically, in which deadlock has become notorious. I don't think there's anything wrong with async/await per se. It looks to me like the linearity of js engine event loops wouldn't produce the same problem.
