That’s what I’m asking - did the comment mean that the async/await pattern is bad, or that asynchronous programming in general is bad?

Asyc/await pretends to be synchronous and gets all tied in horrible knots when the sunk costs mount

Writing IO without blocking has always been second nature to me
