We have coroutines for that: it delegates any blocking behavior to outside of your code.

Introducing a new paradigm while this one just got in would be overkill IMO.

That's why a lot of functional language research is moving towards effect handlers, which could be explained in a nutshell as "coroutines, but for anything"
