You may not have fully understood the C# async/await feature.
The C# compiler rewrites apparent linear code that awaits on a future (Task in .NET) so that all the code that comes after the await goes into a continuation of that future. It can even rewrite a loop with an await in it into a chain of continuations, all the while taking care of hairy details like propagating exceptions.
