Another issue that bothers me, is code reuse. Independent from whether the 'async def' makes sense or not, it would not allow us to reuse asyncio functions as if they were normal functions and vice versa (if I understood that correctly). So, we would have to implement things twice for the asyncio world and the classic world. To me, it would be important to use one function in either world where it suits me better. I am uncertain if that makes sense but right now it does to me.
Yes, you cannot call async function from synchronous code. There are two worlds: classic and async.
