Yet another async/await poll

(I'm not going to partake in this poll or any other poll on await. I don't think they are useful, they are conducted in unscientific manners. They would certainly not be fit for academic papers but neither for fora requiring lesser standards either. Flaws include, but are not limited to: 1) No randomization of questions, 2) Biased formulations presuming the future, 3) Small selection of options -- and no ability to select multiple choices, 4) Not using a realistic setting to ask questions (e.g. no snippets and no syntax highlighting, 5) Questions are not done first in an environment where the user has already been loaded with opinions by others, 6) No ability for people to elaborate and give their reasoning after conducting the poll -- the last one being essential to have any value for me)

To remove any possibility of doubts as to what syntaxes I consider most appropriate, here are some syntaxes from most to least appropriate:

  1. fut.await?
  2. some sigil (e.g. fut#?)
  3. fut.await()?
  4. fut.await!()?
  5. fut await?
  6. (await fut)?
  7. await fut?
  8. await? fut

That is, assumptions that prefix await is considered viable by me is mistaken.
