Async(io) is not a "style of programming"; it is an approach to solving a certain class of problems which arise undercertain conditions, and is only really useful if it fits your use case. I'm certainly happy that Python has introduced it on a low level, but I definitely won't use it in situations that don't warrant it -- the same holds true for many other Python idioms, like say ABCs or Ellipsis.
- dfee 8y agoI’m not going to debate on the definition of the word “style”. Yeah, I see it as an alternative concurrency model to threads. And I think each has its pros. As for you not using it in situations that don’t warrant concurrency, that’s a good idea.
