> Without function coloring there's no distinction that you need to know of
Why do you think you don't need to know of it? I want to know if the function I'm calling is going to make a network request. Just because I can have a programming language that hides that distinction from me doesn't mean I want that.
Ideally I want to have the fundamental behavior of any function I call encoded in the function signature. So if it's async, I know it's going to reach out to some external system for some period of time.
