Disagreed: As far as I can tell, to get a value out of an async function, you use block_on() if called from a regular function, but .await if called from another async one. That's an example of function coloring, and it does not have to be this way (see eg Raku - formerly known as Perl6 - and, if I'm not mistaken, Julia as well[1]). Now, you might argue that it is an innocuous example of function coloring that does not come with the negative implications of Javascript's version, but that doesn't mean the coloring isn't there. [1] even in these examples, there's still a bit of colouring going on insofar that there's a difference between returning promises or values which Zig avoids, but their approach looks a bit too action-at-a-distancy for my taste...
