My problem with rust's async/await is that it's _not_ a different strategy as the continuation tasks _are_ run multithreaded, so it's technically both strategies. IMO one of the biggest selling points of single-threaded async/await was how much complexity falls away compared to managing preemptive synchronization in the multi-threaded case. I can see why there's so much controversy over async/await in rust. If I had to take both the syntax and cognitive hit of using async/await _and_ multi-threading, I would also angrily call for its removal.
