Async-Await methods

[Meemaw]

Description
Quarkus code seems to be highly async. As this has obvious advantages, there is also one major disadvantage:

• Code can quickly become unreadable and convoluted in some non-trivial scenarios

In those scenarios Aync-Await paradigm could be a more readable alternative. https://github.com/electronicarts/ea-async is a library that allows programmers to write asynchronous code in a sequential fashion. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be maintained anymore and it only supports JDK 8-10. It is also questionable if it works with Quarkus at all (haven't tried it TBH).

Proposal
Expose such/similar utility from Quarkus (either core or an extension) that would allow to write asynchronous code in a sequential fashion.

Let me know if this request does not make sense at all or if it's for some reason not possible.

Edit: seems to have been already mentioned in #1957

I know @FroMage has input on this

Yeah, that project didn't work in native back when I tried it, but recent graalvm improvements might have changed that. It was however much less versatile/useful than Quasar, which is what the JDK Loom work is based on. Perhaps you can try EA-Async with the latest native-image and let us know if it works now?
