You do you. The reality was that _every_ time some discussion about the async syntax came up _every_ proposal and concern was uttered again. It's not that any direction was particularly more popular in the community than any other one, so it's not that the lang team decided against what the community wanted. The only thing that seemed certain in the end that all options have some downsides. I'm very happy with the Rust lang team. They brought us this far, and I'm very happy with the vast majority of their decision. And apart from the async drama, they are delivering a lot of other nice goodies.
