Ah, so, async/await, while conceptually similar, isn't the same across languages. Rust's semantics here are very different than JS's. I think Rust's implementation would address all of your issues, at least conceptually.

With respect, I think it's because you don't understand it in Rust yet. It was not directly copied from JS, and was certainly not due to familiarity. Read the post! It's very good :)
