> forcing the entire ecosystem to be async too

You say that like it's a good thing. I'd much rather have the choice between async and sync.

The problem comes when you mix the two. Try it. Try scaling it (to a hundred thousand connections). I've done it and it doesn't mix.

Sure programming-wise it's nice to have sync. No argument there.
