Algebraic effects also allows the side-effect itself (e.g. the network request), to be intercepted in a context. Zones doesn't let you do that. However async is only part of the problem. See Ben Newman's describing the capabilities of generators that are not available to async functions. There are many use cases for generators that are not limited to the "async" use case and those still have to be solved. So, yes, that's a limitation but not the only limitation.
