this is why you should learn async when learning a programming lang

What's async?

@umnikos the counterpart to 'await'

@Krokoklemme What's await?

@umnikos a modifier to a function call to state that it's executed asynchronously

@Krokoklemme asyncwhat?

@umnikos async is a modifier to a function declaration to state that it can be executed asynchronously

async/await pairs are multithreading implementations for some languages

@Krokoklemme Ok whatever I still don't get it.

@umnikos yeah, it's kinda weird at first, but multi-threading really couldn't be any easier

@umnikos if I'm right. I think to put it in simpler words.
Async means running function on another thread, meaning, you can run it while you run a function in the other thread.
(I hope you already know that computers execute code one line at a time if you don't do async)
