I think the idea with Loom is that you won't have to deal with the red/blue pill bifurcation of sync/async code anymore. It's a return to basics where everything is once again a thread and can be written synchronously, with the runtime handling the scheduling of the userspace threads.

In theory this would be very similar to what Go offers, in practice I guess we'll see once it's released, whenver that is.
