minus-squareSkull giver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agoAsync is easier than real concurrency. It lets single core oriented code work efficiently without having to rearchitect your entire application. The alternatives seem to be callback hell, deadlock galore, or multithreaded memory corruption. Async is hard because it solves a difficult problem.
minus-squareAggressivelyPassive@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agoDe facto it is callback hell, though. Debugging Async code horrible and let’s be honest here: Async is just global-synchronized (or whatever it’s called it not-Java) with extra steps.
