I honestly don't know, why async got so popular. It seems like the entire reason for doing it was that some blokes were hellbent on using JS on a server and couldn't fathom that a second thread might be a good idea.
If you are waiting for IO, why would you block your current thread and not let it do something else? Async does not only exist in JS.
