  > You should elaborate. I just want to read a file, program flow should stop until it is done. sync or awaited async call for this semantically sounds exactly same to me. What if you are reading the file and somewhere else in the code there is some logging happening. Should the logging flow stop until reading the file is done? Should it not? If not, what should happen if the "thing" (e.g. thread) that executes the code to read the file crashes? Go does not treat sync and async the same. It specifically has syntax to deal with async, e.g. go routines.
