Here are more arguments against async/await: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=449j7oKQVkc

Ron Pressler always was an advocate for blocking code and even joined oracle to add virtual threads to the JVM, thus invalidating the performance argument of the async/await/non-blocking crowd.

I really wish young developers would be taught about the actor model and communicating sequential processes before falling for the false promises of async/await-land.

And I wish JavaScript runtimes had a way of expressing continuations /blocking threads on their eventloop.
