| Each of these monads has a corresponding type of asynchronous tasks that it can coordinate. | ||
| These tasks can be thought of as handles to an in-flight computation. | ||
| Calling {name}`async` on a monadic action creates a task that runs in the current thread until it suspends, and calling {name}`await` on a task results in a monadic action that waits for the task to complete. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
async can run the computation on another thread, as it uses BaseIO.asTask internally without the sync flag

| During selection, errors might occur at any stage of {ref "async-select"}[the protocol]. | ||
| Errors thrown by a selector during the initial {name Selector.tryFn}`tryFn` loop terminate the selection immediately. | ||
| An error thrown from a {name Selector.registerFn}`registerFn` or {name Selector.unregisterFn}`unregisterFn`, by contrast, can leave selectors that were already registered without a matching call to {name Selector.unregisterFn}`unregisterFn`. |
