While the starvation behavior of cooperative green-threads isn’t ideal as native threads, the idea is that 1. Properly written code will perform well, whether async/await or Go style. 2. Making async easy makes one use it in more place

Main problems with async await model is that the callee decides whether something should run sync/async. In goroutines model, caller decides
