Treffer: Wait, What? Async-Await Explained.

The article focuses on the C# programming language feature known as async-await, clarifying its purpose and functionality in asynchronous programming. It explains that while asynchronous programming aims to allow multiple tasks to run simultaneously, the async-await pattern does not inherently enable parallel execution within a single function; instead, it optimizes the use of Thread Pool threads by freeing them up during I/O-bound operations. The article also discusses the implications of using async-await, including the potential for "infinite regress" in function calls and the distinction between I/O-bound and CPU-bound tasks, emphasizing that async-await is particularly effective for I/O-bound tasks due to its reliance on the Windows IO Completion Port (IOCP) for signaling task completion.
