The Amor Story of Async and Await
My latest educational poem personifies 𝗔𝘀𝘆𝗻𝗰 and 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁 as a lesbian couple who live in trippy JavaScript land.
In JavaScript programming, 𝗔𝘀𝘆𝗻𝗰 starts tasks asynchronously, and 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁 patiently waits for them to complete before moving on—just like how the 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘪𝘵 keyword pauses execution until the promise resolves.
In the trippy land of JavaScript, rainbow bright,
Live Async and Await —a couple so polite!
Async is a wild child, always on the run,
Starting tasks before her last one is done.
"I LOVE MAKING PROMISES!" Async will cry,
Flying through one task straight towards the sky.
"Can’t wait. I’m too fast! MUST FEEL FREE!
What’s the rush? I’ll sort things out eventually!"
Await, on the other hand, she’s rather serene,
Happy in the background, observantly keen.
“It’s fine, mi amor, race through your quest,
Meanwhile, I’ll wait over here for the rest.”
In her code, it's no secret at all,
Async can trip. Stumble. Even stall.
She starts so many things yet finishes none,
Thank goodness Await gets the job done!
When together, code runs harmoniously in sync.
One without the other? Your code’s gonna stink!
Since Async refuses to accept delays,
She relies on Await to order her craze.
So next time you’re coding, don’t be rash,
Your impatience will cause Async to crash.
Golly are we thankful when Await brings the cure!
Their amor—partnership—keeps promises secure.
