I generally like Swift, but async is a mess, it feels like they come up with a new async library every release

Just forget everything you've learned about it previously, use 6.2+, non isolated by default and every upcoming feature turned on. And your intuition will be spot on.

Can you explain a bit more on what changed with 6.2+ that is now better?

All of these changes improve the ergonomics of async/await. Fewer hops and a better alignment of when one would expect a hop to occur.

async defer is nice too but it's not in the 6.2 public release AFAICT.

Far fewer actor hops by default which usually makes it easier to write correct code
