Adding structured concurrency to JavaScript

A GitHub repository explores adding structured concurrency to JavaScript, proposing patterns similar to Java's StructuredTaskScope. The approach ensures child tasks are bound to lexical scopes and properly handle cancellation and error propagation. This could significantly improve async programming reliability in JavaScript.

Background

Structured concurrency is a programming paradigm that manages concurrent tasks within well-defined scopes, ensuring proper cleanup and error handling. JavaScript currently lacks native support for this pattern despite its growing importance in modern async programming.
