Yes, and it is...not great. It's generally fine as far as the language goes (considering it's a retrofit), but the builtin asyncio library is not the way to go

Yes, and it is...not great. It's generally fine as far as the language goes (considering it's a retrofit), but the builtin asyncio library is not the way to go in my opinion. trio is far better for just aping a lot of the Erlang way of things. But even then it's hard to debug, or work out ideas in the REPL, testing is a bit more complex than it should have to be, etc. There are probably better languages to reach for (I'd love to see rust firm up a one true way of async).
