What is the problem with that though? I honestly wish they moved the async key word to the front `async func ...` but given the relative newness of all of this I've yet to see anyone get confused by this. The compiler also ensures everything is used correctly anyway.

And sometimes you even have to use the return value the way the function annoates as well instead of just pretending it's a string or whatever when it's not! Having the language tell me how to use things is so frustrating.
