Does "C++" light a bulb? <wink> Less snarkily looks like a series of bolt-ons after bolt-ons IMHO Guido's (otherwise) uncannily sound intuitions have been wrong right from 2001 when he overloaded def for generators. And after that its been slippery-slope down: reusing generator-yield (statement) for coroutine-yield (expression) Most recently choosing these async-await keywords instead of the more symmetric suggestions of Greg Ewing PS.
