It's funny about JavaScript. (Never mind jQuery.) Given the heart-thumping
power of even modern little devices, there's no reason whatsoever why they
couldn't implement proper concurrent programming in a modern browser. On
the server, people still fuss about the number of processes, and devise
clever hacks like async/await in C#, because servers might have to deal
with many millions of  incoming connections given poor session management.
On the client, though? No. Still, although browsers have expanded beyond
the traditional dreams of avarice, they still can't do basic multiplexing
well.

The correct answer is "Is that an African or an English MVC flow?" (the
point being that it changed significantly between ASP.NET MVC 5 and the
 replacement ASP.NET Core MVC)

Yes. I've scripted the process to do that.

Thanks David,

Will you add new Go releases there as they come out so that we can bootstrap 
from previous releases?

Also, the Git script is working quite well for me. Thanks for that too.
