> I believe the best approach is transparent fiber support. Java's Project Loom is a very ambitious attempt at this.

I guess the time was due for us C# developers to have something to be envious of in Java world :)

I'm really disappointed that .Net world went the async/await route. This blog post best describes why: http://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2015/02/01/what-color-is-y...

I agree. C# is wonderfully designed, only reason I haven't switched is the huge number of wonderful libraries available in java.

Also sad that C# went asynchronous. I mean, it works great, and it's better than what Java has now, but it's not backwards compatible like I expect fibers to be. With how many third party libraries we pull in, this is a gigantic selling point
