But we aren't talking about Javascript. It's about a theoretical replacement language.

Also, the reason you care about the "synchronicity" in the first place is because your environment forces you to care! When it all Just Works (TM), you don't care whether it's "synchronous" or not. That's a deficiency in your language, not a feature.

I'm not theorizing. I program in this sort of language all the time. You worry much more simply about how long something will take, which you can never not worry about, rather than how many bits are "synchronous".
