Async/Await functionality

[Vitaly Banchenko]

Is there are plans to implement such functionality as async/await in Ceylon ?
It looks nice and so clear and readable approach to write asynchronous apps.

It's something we would definitely love to add. But we're not working
on it at this time.

This is my personal opinion, so it has no bearing on the Ceylon future.

The async/await syntax sounds nice and clean, until you realize that the async keyword is extremely greedy. 

Once you use async in your function/method, the whole function become async and cannot be directly called from any synchronous code.

At least this is how it seems to be working in C#
