No async/await? Oh, they haven’t added that to C++--yet. 

 
No, Boost.ASIO is event driven with asynchronous callbacks in a
foreign thread's context.

Callbacks can be a clunky way of event handling, since they force
you to break up your logic sequence into discontinguous pieces. This
is why coroutines have become popular, since they keep the logic
flow together. 

 
Callbacks work just fine, as the logic for submitting a request
is quite different from the logic for completing a request;  indeed,
they more closely mirror the hardware interrupt that signals
completion.
 
I wouldn't call coroutines popular at all, outside of python
generators.

My impression was that in golang world co-routines are relatively
popular. But I can be wrong about it.
