5 async/await traps in C# that compile fine

C# async/await patterns in .NET 10 can lead to runtime errors if not properly implemented. One critical trap involves missing await keywords, where exceptions in unawaited tasks are ignored, potentially causing failures like missing receipts after charges. Understanding how async/await compiles is essential for deciding between Task and ValueTask. Experiments on .NET 10 demonstrate execution order and thread behavior, highlighting that while asynchronous code looks synchronous, hidden complexities can impact application stability and performance.
