Keep in mind, I am good friends with the Stackless maintainers, worked with Stackless professionally, and this project has had a lot of input from them. Richard (rmtew) is also a central Stackless figure. Richard has pretty much said everything I would have to say, but I just wanted to chime in to make explicit that goless is a tribute to stackless (and go, and gevent, and everything before it), not trashing them.

It's really quite a simple library, as all the hard work is done by gevent/stackless and most of the hard API decisions were copied from Go. I'm not smart enough to invent this stuff from scratch!

The benchmarks weren't really fair. Go was using it's reflection-based select. I will publish some new benchmarks (with an idiomatic Go switch select) soon, since someone is finishing a PR with that change. I am not sure what we'll find but I am sure Go's performance will improve.

Hi ceptorial, I have toyed around with this a lot. Ultimately goless is just a wrapper over stackless a gevent, which bother offer monkeypatches for the stdlib. So if you want this behavior, you can just monkeypatch first, and everything should work. I decided not to wrap the monkeypatching (for now) because I did not want to get bugs about how it doesn't work :) However I should make note of this in the docs. You should make an issue or PR!

I changed it to "relatively few." We actually have several thousand altogether, but we have a lot of code. I don't want to discourage the great progress we've made.
