Script Preparation code:

const delayA = time => new Promise(res=>setTimeout(res,time));
const delayT = (func, wait) => {
    var args = slice.call(arguments, 2);
    return setTimeout(function(){
      return func.apply(null, args);
    }, wait);
  };
var test = function(){
  return;

x

(async function(){
await delayA(0);
test();
})();
delayT

})();
setTimeout
(async function(){ setTimeout(test,0); })();
(async function(){
