And what is the alternative? How do you handle any non trivial load in any other language? Without a second thread or while loop. Because apparently you dislike both. You like it sync for your database -> while loop somewhere, but while loops are bad. But asynchronous is bad because it adds complexity to your code when you use functions to reduce the nesting.

On nodejs, the platform that you talked about earlier, they are literally called worker_threads". So they are different? How? Why can't you use them?
