It's a safe assumption, but I think it's better to be asynchronous also on
workers, not only for efficience, but also for having only one programming
model so you can easily interchange your code between workers and main
thread and also maybe Node.js. Look at IndexedDB API, since asynchronous
one was enought dfor everybody, synchronous one was not implemented by the
browsers and now it has became deprecated... :-)

Good to know I'm not the only one... :-)
