Nothing is decided for sure, but the plan is most likely to re-introduce stackless coroutines as a set of lower-level primitives [0], and support implementing the planned `std.Io` abstraction [1] using them. The usage isn't quite as "pretty" as our old async/await syntax, but this approach sidesteps a lot of design problems, allows applications to seamlessly switching between different async implementations (e.g. stackless vs stackful), and simplifies the eventual language specification.

It's true that we're not doing this work right now, but that doesn't mean async is "never coming back", nor that you'll be waiting "till 2028".
