The syntax is exactly the same. You have `var x = await` in C# and `let! x =` in F#
The controller handler is also the same. It will be marked with `async` keyword in C# and `task` CE in F#

because an async function doesn't require you to change syntaxes to get them to work
They're not so different in that regard. C# `await` can be adapted by making an awaitable and awaiter type[1], which isn't to dissimilar to how a computation expression in F# needs to implement methods `Bind`, `Return`, `Yield`, etc.
In both languages these patterns make up for the absence of typeclasses to express things like a functor, applicative, monad, comonad, etc.

It's absolutely not exactly the same; let! is only available within a computation block. If you want to return some value from the computation block and return to Functional land without having to pause the thread you need to use a continuation, which C# has built in syntactic sugar for in async/await and F# does not.
