I feel similarly - though I think it's more the case that Java considers things a lot longer and considers the implications before simply adding them.

Java needed string interpolation forever before _finally_ getting something. There are parts of C# that I think are going to look like a good idea at the time, but turned out not so great. Extension methods is one, and async/await is another. In fact, if Project Loom ever, finally, actually ships it'll make the whole c# code colouring thing look like the abomination that it is.

I actually like the code colouring. It is clear indication that the function is optimized for asynchronoty and that I need to take care how to properly integrate then to achieve the goal. Is the Async suffix stupid: yes. Is a clear indication needed: imho yes
