Hi, I have never said I wanted implicit asyncio. Explicit is the Python way after all, it served me well and I stick to that. I like the 'await' syntax to mark suspension points. But the 'async' coloring makes no sense to me. It is an implementation details of asyncio (IMHO). From what I can gather, there are 4 distinct cases I would need to take care of. However, I do not wish the team to go through of all of them. Additionally, they would even need to think of whether a function returns an 'awaitable that returns an int', an 'int' or both depending on the input parameters (or due to an implementation error). Maybe, somebody even makes a crazy error like returning an 'awaitable that returns an awaitable that returns an int'. If somebody likes to create/handle this kind of stuff (for whatever reason), using the asyncio library and creating crazy wrapper objects would be the way to go; not the default syntax. Regards, Sven
