Difference between Javascript async functions and Web workers? : <p>Threading-wise, what's the difference between web workers and  functions declared as </p>

<pre><code>async function xxx()
{
}
</code></pre>

<p>?</p>

<p>I am aware web workers are executed on separate threads, but what about async functions? Are such functions threaded in the same way as a function executed through setInterval is, or are they subject to yet another different kind of threading?</p>
