I hate asyncs, but I don't mind the way Python does it.

I hate python async with a burning passion but I'll admit most of it is a consequence of skill issues

What do u hate about it so much? I find it a very intuitive way to do async. Especially with asynchronous loops.

I like async but dislike await. I spend entirely too much time on everything I build trying to maximize how much I can do in parallel because I find it tremendously satisfying.

You probably already know this, or are talking about another language, but JavaScript is inherently single threaded, so unless you're running blocking I/O in parallel, you won't actually see any performance boost. Service workers get their own thread though.

TaskGroup in Python is great

Kotlin-style async is pretty neat, ngl.
