It was probably over 10 years ago now that I had my hallway moment with Guido van Rossum (creator of Python) at a PyCon. I gave him what was probably an incomprehensible pitch about the shortcomings of generators as coroutines for concurrent network server programming and why I thought stackless python's approach was what Python should adopt as its primary approach to concurrency. Guido listened attentively despite my rambling being essentially a poor rehashing of a proposal rejected 10 years prior! I was too starstruck to remember a concrete thing he replied with, but I remember it being kind and detailed. Was an incredibly formative experience for me about how those in a position of authority and privilege should behave. I doubt I was "right" in any universal sense. Green threads make FFI difficult and costly, and cheap and easy FFI has always been one of Python's most compelling features. I did switch to being a Go programmer as soon as I could find a job using it and haven't looked back. I don't think there's one right abstraction for concurrency, but I think I could live with Go's for the rest of my career and be happy. All of this to say: +1 to gevent.
