This helper waits for the requested time before continuing. Independent waits can start together inside an array constructor or parallel helper. See Parallelism And Async Evaluation and Async And Concurrency.

Documentation

$wait() is an async helper that pauses for the supplied time interval and then returns undefined.

Independent waits can start together. For example, [$wait(1000), $wait(1000), $wait(1000)] completes in about one second rather than three because the three waits run in parallel inside the array constructor.

See Parallelism And Async Evaluation for when simple array syntax is enough and when to switch to $pMap() or $pLimit().
