If the parameter is not a promise, the parameter itself will be returned immediately. [21] Many libraries provide promise objects that can also be used with await, as long as they match the specification for native JavaScript promises. However, promises from the jQuery library were not Promises/A+ compatible until jQuery 3.0. [22]
A timeout can also be specified on the wait using the wait_for() or wait_until() member functions to avoid indefinite blocking. If the future arose from a call to std::async then a blocking wait (without a timeout) may cause synchronous invocation of the function to compute the result on the waiting thread.
Alternatives are synchronous method invocation and future objects. [4] An example for an application that may make use of AMI is a web browser that needs to display a web page even before all images are loaded. Since method is a special case of procedure, asynchronous method invocation is a special case of asynchronous procedure call.
Asynchrony, in computer programming, refers to the occurrence of events independent of the main program flow and ways to deal with such events. These may be "outside" events such as the arrival of signals, or actions instigated by a program that take place concurrently with program execution, without the program hanging to wait for results.

Most Republicans prefer not to hear celebrities' political takes as Americans seem to be experiencing "information overload" post-election, a poll released Thursday showed.
A web page and its JavaScript typically run in a single-threaded web browser process. The browser process deals with messages from a queue one at a time. A JavaScript function or another browser event might be associated with a given message. When the browser process has finished with a message, it proceeds to the next message in the queue.
They couldn’t wait. They kept on calling me and calling me, and I said, “Enough of the bullshit. I’m a nurse. Tell me, did he get shot in the foot, or are we going to lose him?” “No, he didn’t get shot in the foot. We can’t wait.” They grabbed us as soon as we got to the hospital. They let Bryan come around slightly.
