In practice you will discover that async is a bit different. E.g. you can't have recursive functions, some new lifetime effects will come into play (an async fn returns a Future, and everything that generated Future captures lifetimes of other things). async/await made async programming in rust definitely a lot more accessible! But at some times the lower layers still leak through and cause some unexpected compilation errors.
