await implies async functions.

Looks like Java's "there is no simpler syntax than plain old synchronous code" is just a lot of extra manual wrangling of stuff

And the first two lines are an async function as they are, without any special handling.

They won't block the thread, and you can have millions of them.

Like it's no accident that c# with their goldfish attention span wanted to ship virtual threads as well next to all their millions of features.

Strangely enough virtually no materials on the internet show that. Everything is Executors, and Futures, and joins etc.

Concurrency != parallelism

I hope you know and understand the difference. Then strangely enough all my examples will make sense.
