// Comparison: async/await vs DispatchQueue

// ❌ Old style: DispatchQueue with callbacks

        }
    }
}

// ✅ New style: async/await more readable
func fetchUser(id: Int) async throws -> User {
    // Swift runtime handles threads automatically
    // No need to manually switch between queues
    return try await performNetworkRequest(id: id)
