What Hacker News says

My web scripting language, https://hyperscript.org, tries to hide the difference between sync and async by resolving promises in the runtime. My theory is that this is something that web script writers should not be concerned with (this theory makes more sense when you consider hyperscript is a companion to htmx, and favors a particular approach to scripting[1].) on click fetch /whatever as json put the result's data into #some-div wait 2s put '' into #some-div You don't have to mark the script as sync or async, and the runtime will resolve everything for you, making everything feel like synchronous scripting. This obviously has limitations and foot guns, but it works reasonably well for light scripting. More info here: https://hyperscript.org/docs/#async And the implementation of it in the runtime here: https://githu
