I generally agree with this article. There are programs where async IO is great, but in my experience it stops being useful as your code “does more stuff”. The few large scale async systems I’ve worked with end up with functions taking too long, so you use ability to spin off functions into threadpools, then async wait for their return, at which point you often end up with the worst of both threads and async.
