It's been a few years since I wrote about my challenges with
async/await-based systems and how they just seem to not support back
pressure well]]. A few years later, I do not
think that this problem has subsided much, but my thinking and
understanding have perhaps evolved a bit. I'm now convinced that
async/await is, in fact, a bad abstraction for most languages, and we
should be aiming for something better instead and that I believe to be
thread.
