    @gitlog Oh, no... Is there even a different between "Segmentation fault" and "Some random error but no one knows what's wrong"?

    Oh well... Wait... No await needed to call an async function? 😅

    @Ganzalf You can just start them without await, they basically just return a promise

    @norman70688 @Danacus executing without awaiting anything feels wrong 😅 Don't judge me but most times I prefer the callback hell.

    @Ganzalf sometimes callbacks just make more sense and I have used them a lot in the past: https://reddit.com/r/.... That's what I call a real callback hell :P

    I thought JavaScript promises executed as soon as they're instantiated, but I was having some weird experiences using web assembly. Can you console.log in a promise and have it show up?

    @beegC0de I don't know about webassembly, but it works with mode and/or babel.

    @Danacus there wasn't any exceptions or errors popping up in console until I started awaiting. Maybe I need to fool around with it more.

    @beegC0de that sounds odd, I don't really know
