2 points · Open discussionThanks for the feedback! I just extended the comment to touch on the "why" part. :) https://github.com/Dobiasd/articles/commit/53f360259ad8e64ca...
In Internals of the async/await pattern from first principlesThanks for the feedback! My code snippets in the article don't use any real/existing language. C# for example, is quite explicit with the transformation of generated to state machines, but also does not provide such methods, as far as I know. I've just added a comment explaining this choice: https://github.com/Dobiasd/articles/commit/f44b897f2a4d20aa9...

In Keyboard lets people type so fast it’s banned from typing competitionsYou're absolutely right, of course. :)
While this was not the point of this article, I just added a remark about this important fact nonetheless: https://github.com/Dobiasd/articles/commit/2a251204183cb45e7...
Thanks!
