Bryan Duxbury commented on THRIFT-136:
--------------------------------------
It's too easy to mistakenly make a method noreturn if you just don't specify a
return type. I think it should have to be specified one way or another.
I still prefer noreturn, but if people are really against that, we could do
"oneway".
> Rename "async void" to "noreturn void" or just "noreturn"

> "async" is not a very descriptive name for functions that don't return any
> value. I suggest that we change this keyword to "noreturn" to free up the
> term "async" to refer to non-blocking function calls. Votes?
