This is the problem that most JavaScript frontend frameworks are trying to solve. Most of them just connect JS and renderer event loops, but some are approaching data fetching and background jobs as well (like React with the experimental `use` hook, or Svelte Query).

They do however come with significant complexity for new users, and if you write React code without understanding the underlying event loops, you'll write code with weird edge cases (eg. overreliance on useEffect). But I do think that they solve the problem pretty well once you got past that initial burden of learning them.
