That sounds more like a legacy problem than a problem with the async/await model in the abstract.

If you were designing a language from the ground up, why would you implement a synchronous read operation? I would just assume that all code written in the language will treat async the way that Haskell programmers treat IO and make all IO operations async no matter what.

There’s lot of programming models that don’t require async or it’s complexity. Not everything is a web server that needs to serve 100k requests.
