> I would prefer an approach where calls to "async" functions are implicitly awaited unless a keyword turns then into a promise, and all functions are implictly treated as async as needed, unless a keyword specifies that they return a promise, which should be awaited instead. This would make the majority case clearer, and force you to make the minority case explicit where it's currently implicit.
This is a very interesting idea and feels good in an initial 'gut check' sense.
