I think the exception handling difference that is explained is pretty misleading. async{} does not crash because you are not calling await(). The moment you call await it will crash. async{} does not execute until we call await(). So we cannot say this is a difference. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong here. @amitshekhar

[@amitshekhar]

As you mentioned: "async{} does not execute until we call await()". Please experiment regarding this statement and let us know the result.

Agree with u, launch or aysnc still crash if u not use try/catch exception

[@mwshubham]

Looks like my observation was correct async do get executed once task is spawned. And await is only blocking function which wait for the result which can be exception that need to be handled. Will do this experiment to understand this better.

@vipinkumar7230 1. async{} does not crash because you are not calling await(). This is correct 2. async{} does not execute until we call await(). This is wrong, The coroutine starts running as soon as async is called, but its result is not available until you call await()
