Hmm, ok but why not

function asyncParse(string) { return new Promise(function(res, rej) { resolve(JSON.parse(string)); }); }

- or -

let asyncParse = async (string) => JSON.parse(string);

[alt_]

Promises still run in the main thread and will block other javascript. The purpose of this hack is to move the parsing out of the main thread.
