Can you say more about these storms? Sounds pretty interesting. How does preempting solve it?

  I don't know Python or Rust well, but I think this is the problem: https://betterprogramming.pub/the-dangers-of-async-in-python-and-how-to-avoid-them-6e6f98f19f0e https://betterprogramming.pub/the-dangers-of-async-in-python... And this is how some people are solving it: https://async.rs/blog/stop-worrying-about-blocking-the-new-async-std-runtime/ https://async.rs/blog/stop-worrying-about-blocking-the-new-a... This is how it works in BEAM: https://github.com/happi/theBeamBook/blob/master/chapters/scheduling.asciidoc#preemptive-multitasking-in-erts-cooperating-in-c https://github.com/happi/theBeamBook/blob/master/chapters/sc... The commonality is to limit execution time and yield (preempt) so something else can run too.
