Async/await tend to be IO bound, in zigs case hiw can i know what to use and when? Say i do a db call, thats clearly IO, and later do heavy CPU thing, now how do i know that the CPU thing does not block inside my async io thing?
I guess its pure luck if the io implementation can handle both, but who knows?

I think it's common sense to not interweave IO with long-running CPU, hence sans IO.
If you want to go that route, we already have solutions: goroutines and beam processes.
