Async await: the worst thing to happen to programming? 2 years ago
"Ah, the ‘crash early, crash often’ mantra — truly inspiring. I guess when your program explodes because it can’t handle concurrency, we should just sit back, crack open a cold one, and toast to ‘maintaining invariants.’
And sure, let’s talk about state. If handling multiple states at once is ‘extremely difficult,’ then yes, async/await might not be the best for anyone who panics when their program has to juggle more than one thing. But that's kind of the point.
Async/await is like giving you a leash for your concurrency so you don’t need to wrangle state machines on a pogo stick. But hey, if you’re happier living on the edge of crashville because ‘the OS scheduler will save me,’ who am I to interrupt your Zen?”
