While it certainly has its rough edges, I'm a big asyncio user. So I'll be over here happily writing concurrent python that's single threaded, ie. pretending my Python is nodejs.

For the web/network workloads most of us write, I'd highly recommend this.




Asyncio being able to use thread pools would reduce memory usage at the very least.


How so? As opposed to running multiple processes you mean?


Exactly, you could do like other runtimes and run a single process that can saturate all cores.

You wouldn’t be duplicating the interpreter, your code, config, etc.
