> Do you have any example of code that uses await more than synchronous functions ?

But that was not what I was arguing. Rather, I was arguing that await is more common than capturing the raw future. Case in point: The article, where all of the "real code" snippets rely purely on await.

What I proposed was that async functions would always be automatically awaited unless invoked with "defer", because most code is expressed as a series of invocations that use the return value of the function call.

There are times you want to store the raw future as some kind of state (for example, in a GraphQL server you might "resolve" the GraphQL tree as futures), or wait for multiple futures, or similar, but those are, in my experience, the exceptions, not the norm. Most code is:

  let v1 = do1().await;
  let v2 = do2(v1).await;
  // etc.

In other words, serial.
