Java has shown that a sufficiently strong runtime can take the burden onto itself long after the facts have been established.

Python in contrast has a runtime ultimately held back by its deep integration with the C-ecosystem which creates more black-boxes inside the runtime than you can find inside a swiss cheese.

Similar with C# and Rust. No strong runtime, no colorless functions for you.

Zig is the exception here but not sure how well it worked out in practice.

Well, the feature is temporarily killed, but users can enjoy zigcoro which exposes a similar API until the old async is back.

Greenlet has been available for Python since 2006. Troubles with asyncio are mostly self-inflicted.

C# has a strong runtime.
