I never stated anything remotely close to that :) What I've meant are:

- either Haskell gives you API which is done "right", without any Async types. For example, `bracket` function

- or runtime gives you lightweight threads by default, so you can just `fork myComputation` and it'll run in a lightweight thread which "just works"

- or finally, in rare situations of interleaving different computations with complex dependencies, you just use the `async` library, which is not a special language construct but a library, which lets you "await" and all that
