Confusing syntax of `.await`

[VorfeedCanal]

All I'm saying is that I find control flow at the end less readable, and of course I'm immediately put on the offensive for that kind of crime.

How? From my very first message:

At least position “we should use explicit if after each function call like in Go” is internally consistent. In that case .await would, probably, be a problem (as well as a deref).

It would be interesting to see how many users such language would find, but that would be language which is significantly different from what we have in Rust today where break can even carry value.

I agree that in some other language, different from Rust, and with different design goals, in a language where precise implementation details are prominently exposed and where panic doesn't exist .await suffix syntax would be totally unacceptable.

But Rust is different! It does have Deref, it does have ? and it does have break 'label value.

In Rust suffix .await is perfectly natural.

You may not like it (like I don't like how mut works in bindings) but it follows from the design of the whole language pretty naturally.
