The answer is - improved ergonomics! A recurring use case is to have task perform a sequence of requests and then await their results in order to progress. Without `async`/`await` the programmer would be forced to split the task into individual sub-tasks and maintain some sort of state encoding (and manually progress by selecting sub-task). Using `async/await` each yield point (`await`) essentially represents a state, and the progression mechanism is built automatically for you at compile time by means of `Futures`.

Rust `async`/`await` support is still incomplete and/or under development (e.g., there are no stable way to express `async` closures, precluding use in iterator patterns). Nevertheless, Rust `async`/`await` is production ready and covers most common use cases. Rust `async`/`await` support is still incomplete and/or under development.

An important property is that futures are composable, thus you can await either, all, or any combination of possible futures (allowing e.g., timeouts and/or asynchronous errors to be promptly handled).
