Hi, great article, just one question / remark, my first interaction with async programming was in js some years ago, there when you call an async function without await it begins to execute right away and stops when it encounters another inner await, in which case the execution flows returns to the caller.

In python from my experience to even begin executing an async function (again without await-ing immediately) you have to create a task from it.

Is that correct or is my understanding missing something ? Thanks!
