The way Zig handles the transition between synchronous and asynchronous I/O without requiring a heavy runtime is a masterclass in systems design. I'm particularly interested in how this approach to blocking calls might simplify mobile development where thread-per-request isn't always feasible but async/await coloring remains a pain. Does this implementation handle thread pool exhaustion gracefully if a large number of 'threaded' tasks block simultaneously?
