alt Hacker NewsHaving used zig a bit as a hobby. Why is it more ergonomic? Using await vs passing a token have similar ergonomics to me. The one thing you could say is that using some kind of token makes it dead simple to have different tokens. But that's really not something I run into often at all when using async.

It's valuable to library authors who can now write code that's agnostic of the users' choice of runtime, while still being able to express that asynchronicity is possible for certain code paths.
