Yeah, it's really annoying that if you want to introduce some async behaviour in a function, you end up having to deal with it at all the call sites

In the intro section I walk through adding a fetch to some code that jams text into a button and you can see how you don't end up having to change your code to do it: you just write the normal linear code with a fetch command in it:

https://hyperscript.org/docs/#introduction

  <button class='btn primary' _="on click fetch  /clickedMessage then transition opacity to 0
                                 put the result into me then transition opacity to 1
                                 wait 2s then transition opacity to 0
                                 put 'Click Me!' into me then transition opacity to 1">
    Click Me!
  </button>
The fetch, wait and transition commands are asynchronous (in javascript terms) but to hyperscript it's all just linear code.
