I think inline async has its place. I'm hopeful this will speed adoption of PEP 380 which should cleanup the syntax a bit. I'd prefer C# 5's await keyword rather than yield from, but that's minor. That said, I agree that Python needs better function literals. I'd also like a better solution to query syntax than all these variable__gt=5 hacks and strange Q(variable__lt=2) objects that encapsulate what is easily expressed as a python expression. I wish you could pass expression trees, something like db.where("age>5 and alive=True") without the quotes. Not sure about the best syntax...
