Isn't this basically what javascript went through with Promise chaining "callback hell" that was cleaned up with async/await (and esbuild can still desugar the latter down to the former)

This is literally what coroutines are, syntactic sugar to generate nested lambdas.

Except in C++ this removes a fair amount of control given how low-level it is.
