I love F#, and use it all the time, but I really don't care for how async was implemented. Do other people feel the same? It just feels like it was tacked on with all these "!" keywords.

It's a Computation Expression - a core feature of the language since very early, and it's pretty amazing IMO and not only used for async/task

I guess that's fair, I was thinking more of how you have to convert dotnet tasks into f# async, and the nomenclature around "Async.RynSyncronously" vs something like "Async.await"
