Most code seems to take sides: it’s either synchronous or not (which I suppose in itself isn’t great). For many good standard libraries/packages, there is now an async variant.

I used asyncio for the first time seriously recently and was pleasantly surprised. But, crucially, I didn’t want throughput, I wanted a low-cpu use app with easy-to-write concurrency.

I really hope GIL goes away and we can just use threads.
