Imagine a webser or proxy and for every incoming request it creates an new thread 💣
Yes you’re right if it’s a second or third thread it is/may be fine. But if you’re i/o bound and your application has to manage quite a lot of that stuff in parallel, there is no way around delegating that workload to the kernel’s event loop. Async/Await is just a very convenient abstraction of that Ressource.
