I don't understand, and the link seems unclear. Perhaps a more direct question: I get a request X, and I need to consult a backend service to answer the request. Do I write synchronous code calling that backend? Or do I have some callback mechanism?

Ah. This perhaps answers my question. Both of these are essentially compiler-written callbacks.

If this is going to be like C#, then I presume there will be a thread-pool where user code will execute. It seems like a non-ideal story for concurrency. Users will have to take inordinate care not to call any blocking code; otherwise they will prevent one of the threads in the pool from doing useful work.
