Is there a concerted effort within the Java community to avoid async/await semantics? Genuinely curious whether a discussion has been had.

It's certainly a style of doing things and it creates an odd abstraction that really doesn't mirror the way our [current] computers operate. The benefit of "fibers" or "green threads" is they are less of a jump and doesn't involve rewriting everything.
