That's what I'm saying, you can change the "color" of all these including async, but you still have to do that.

There is no single Monad type from which you can build and chain, you always have to color some calls.

No, you can abstract over "color".

You can implement a trait that lets you call both sync and async functions in the same way. You can with the same code and same syntax, get results of either `Fn()->T` or `Fn()->Future<Output=T>`.

You are right, it doesn't "poison" your code, you can always wrap or map it.

I guess I was just going off some tangent.
