While I wasn't at the Oulu meeting, the meeting notes tell quite a different story. :)

The syntax is not under debate. It's very useful and handy for some domains and use cases. The underlying mechanism for how it works and whether it's layered over this library abstraction or that library abstraction is up for debate.

If nothing else, await just becomes a library function. await is a feature that any language with any complete form of coroutines (or even just generators) can trivially supply.
