> Unless you actually think that async code is more expressive and easy to read and write than basic event loops but then you must be a lot smarter than I am because I have to take an aspirin every time I need to dig into async-heavy code.
I don't know about the end of this sentence, but yeah, I'm the kind of person who enjoys very much writing async code and finds that it (sometimes) models the problem much better than sync code and much, much, much better than event-driven/polling programming.
But then, I'm also the kind of person who enjoys coding with CML channels (aka Rust mpsc channels aka Go channels aka Erlang mailboxes aka pi-calculus channels etc.), so I guess I might be a mutant.
