tl;dr: I like the overall ideas but hate the syntax and type segregation involved: declaring a function async at the top is OK to enable async with/for semantics and await expressions, but the rest seems unnecessary and bad for writing robust code. (e.g. note that requiring different syntax means a function must either duplicate code or restrict its input types more, and type changes in remote parts of the program will propagate syntax changes throughout.)

Agreed.
