That has nothing to do with function coloring.

There is no distinction of async functions if you don't have function coloring that you can encode in type signatures.

Sure, in the same way that types have nothing to do with enforcing logical correctness of software. > There is no distinction of async functions if you don't have function coloring that you can encode in type signatures. What are you trying to say with this statement?
- kprotty 3y agogetaddrinfo() is a synchronous function that can do network requests to resolve DNS. The network property isn't reflected in its function signature becoming async. You can have an async_getaddrinfo() which does, but the former is just a practical example of network calls in particular being unrelated to function coloring.
