adjective | ey·sing·kruh·nuhs
When your code is too cool for school and doesn't wait around for nobody. Async programming is like the honey badger of computer science - it just does its thing without giving a fuck about what else is happening. Perfect for multitasking, terrible for actually getting shit done.
Example
"I rewrote our whole backend in async Rust because I hate myself and love debugging race conditions."
"My async JavaScript function is so fast, it finishes before it even starts. Beat that, synchronous losers!"
