Question

I m wondering if anyone has thoughts on writing a flow with a combination of sync and async tasks or perhaps a flow of flows with some sync and some async I currently have a flow where the first task needs to be async because it s calling coroutines in another async framework but I d like the following tasks to not be async especially because if I define all the tasks as async even though I can ask them to `wait for` the other tasks they are still visualized as happening concurrently which makes the visual less fun

If I do something like this ``` task async def do something async do async stuff task def do something sync do sync stuff flow async def sync async mix await do something async do something sync wait for= do something sync ``` my flow will crash so this definitely isn t the way to go

I am new to async so I m probably doing something dumb here

Maybe to write the question more succinctly is it the case that any flow with an async task must have all async tasks and therefore the visualization of the flow is going to represent all tasks as happening concurrently as children of the flow
