No, multithreaded synchronous code is not easier to reason about than async. I think most would agree.

  You probably think async code can't have deadlocks like threaded code can. Async is still multi-threaded it's just that the threads are done in user-space and contain an implicit global lock.

    Async is not pre-emptive though (if using a single theaded executor). And thats where most of the unintutive behaviour of threads comes from.

    Notice I didn't say async code is easier to reason about.

  I disagree, at least in Rust. async is hard. Threading is easy.

    Do you have something that backs up your belief?
