The asynchronous programming model is often inherently inconvenient
compared to synchronous code, and synchronous APIs (whether at the
individual API level, or at another level such as synchronous messaging or
yieldable coroutines) are indeed the only practical solution that's been
proposed so far.  I believe this is a fundamental issue, but if you have a
concrete alternative proposal to make then by all means do so (in another
thread).  Otherwise, this just isn't helpful.

This is not a particularly hard or subtle point.
