In TypeScript at least, async-ness is encoded in the type system, because async/await is just syntactic sugar for Promise/then/catch.


Well, JS is paired with a single-threaded execution model, so you only have concurrency to worry about. C#, Java has proper multithreading as well, that gives another dimension to the problem.


Kotlin has multithreading, and it also puts `suspend` in the type system.


Some more examples: Rust, Python (with most/all? type checkers), C# all bake this into their type systems.


This is more due to the fact that Kotlin doesn’t control its backend and is designed to work with a language that already includes this model, js.
