- btown 2y agoI hope that someone does an oral history of why gevent wasn't seen as the solution here. The existence of models like Twisted, and a general idea that yields to an event thread should be explicit in some way, I think caused the exact kind of fracturing of the ecosystem that everyone was trying to avoid. "Everyone will write async code" simply didn't happen in practice.

As soon as workload and concurrency increases python programs with gevent or gevent based drivers, especially monkey patches causes unexpected crashes out of the blue, no way to debug, no error message,Memory leaks and whole slew of nightmares
