Marking the difference between a function that synchronizes with a concurrent process and a function that does not is good, actually.



If I could ask independently of the sentiment of this thread - I am genuinely curious: Why is marking the difference good? (sorry this is only tangential to the article)


The behavior and performance of asynchronous function depend on the behavior and performance of concurrent processes, making them more complex to reason about, test and be confident in their correctness and well-suitedness.
