I might be completely wrong, but the impression I got from your comment is that you haven't been exposed to many implementations using non-trivial concurrency :)

Fair call though, I guess. It doesn't really matter, but I'm certainly used to TypeScript and JavaScript.

That is entirely accurate. I struggle to imagine scenarios in which I’d need two parallel routines to communicate with each other.

Maybe because we probably shouldn’t be doing that in JavaScript. I primarily use Go and work with Go routines often but I’ve never wanted to do anything remotely close to it in JavaScript. If I wanted proper concurrency, I would be using Go, not JS
