Same about the default reason here.

Shouldn't we support a list of keys? I don't see where that is handled. :( But also note that if I do:

cancel_async(socket, :key, ...)

We won't set the async_result under socket.assign.key to failed.

the "key" is whatever the user passes to start_async, so :foo or [:foo, :bar, :baz]. So the list of keys is supported because the key is a list of keys in some cases. I will bump the docs around this.

Love to see support for this in LiveView. ❤️

Just a thought (sorry if this should be shared elsewhere): While messing with asynchronous assignments in the past, I occasionally found it helpful to perform atomic updates (via Phoenix.Component.update/3 via asynchronous tasks. It looks like this will be supported through start_async. Another option might be to allow a tagged tuple (ex. {:update, fn current -> current + 1 end}) as an alternative return type for the asynchronous function.
