Async/Await logic has introduced a symetric relation wich introduces unnecessary contraints. We should just the same logic as thread logic.
I'm not an expert on async, but whenever I hear people saying "we should use (something just like) threads" I'm reminded of something that Jamie Zawinski could have (but didn't) say: Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use threads." Nothwey htwo pavroble ems. I know, that's a sound-bite, not a reasoned argument. But if your intention is to make async code just like threads, how do you avoid the well-known perils of threading? The point of async code is to make context switches explicit, rather than implicit like threading. So at first glance, it seems like you are suggesting we take the major benefit of async (explicitness) and replace it with the major disadvantage of other concurrency models (implicitness). -- Steve
