Having all async happen completely transparently is not really logically possible. asynchronous logic is frequently fundamentally different from synchronous logic, and you need to do something different one way or the other. I don't think that's really the same as "function colouring".

And context is used for more than just goroutines. Even a completely synchronous function can (and often does) take a context, and the cancellation is often useful there too.
