Python is my strongest language. If you ask me to write some asynchronous code I will try my best not to write it in Python. Usually it's just not worth it.


Have you not used async in Python lately? IMO it's very easy to do.


I don't have huge experience with Python, but I used async code with C#/Typescript and lately I had to use some asyncio magic.

I found this article: https://blog.dalibo.com/2022/09/12/monitoring-python-subproc... and while async/await syntax is the same, it's not entirely clear for me, why there's some event loop and what exactly happens, when I pass function to asyncio.run(), like here: https://github.com/pallets/click/issues/85#issuecomment-5034...

So, you can use it and it's not that hard, but there are some parts that are vague for me, no matter which language implements async support.


I find threading to be much easier to use in Python
