> Despite that C# was the first mainstream language that popularised the async/await keywords, it wasn’t the language that invented the concept. F# added asynchronous workflows with await points in version 2.0 in 2007 (5 years before C#).
Which is exactly my point about c# mainstreaming and popularising concepts that already exist, even if they exist in less-known or less polished versions.
