Could you give an example to distinguish them? Async means not-synchronous, which I understand to mean that the next computation to start is not necessarily the next computation to finish. Concurrent means multiple different parts of the program may make progress before any one of them finishes. Are they not the same? (Of course, concurrency famously does not imply parallelism, one counterexample being a single-threaded async runtime.)
