This article focuses on transparency in the context of asynchronous method invocation. It describes two solutions available to provide
full-transparency
: where asynchronism is entirely masked to the developer. The main contribution of this paper is to clearly present the drawbacks of this approach: exception handling and developer consciousness are two problems inherent to
full-transparency
that makes it at least, hard to use, at worst, useless. This paper defends explicit asynchronous method invocation and proposes
semi-transparency
: almost all the complexity of asynchronism is masked to the developer but the asynchronism itself.
