Comment on: Asyncio: A library with too many sharp corners
I really wish the community had coalesced around gevent.- no async/await, instead every possible thing that could block in the standard library is monkey-patched to yield to an event loop- this means that you can write the same exact code for synchronous and concurrent workflows, and immediately get levels of concurrency only bounded by memory limits- you'll never accidentally use a synchronous API in an async context and block your entire event loop (well, you can, if you spin on a tight CPU-bound loop, but that's a problem in asyncio too)- the ecosystem doesn't need to implement libraries fo
