I think that goes to taste. > Event loop + callback hell That was always due to indisciplined programming. Async/await offers up other hells. I think it makes some sense in memory managed systems. But in a system with static compile time management like Rust async/await forces all sorts of compromises. Mostly these fall on library authors, but it is its own hellscape. `Pin`? > great in some cases, but they suck in others That is a universal refrain for software systems!
