Playground Wisdom: Threads Beat Async/Await | Armin Ronacher's Thoughts and Writings

https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2024/11/18/threads-beat-async-await/
It's been a few years since I wrote about my challenges with async/await-based systems and how they just seem to not support back pressure well. A few years later, I do not think that this problem has subsided much, but my thinking and understanding have perhaps evolved a bit. I'm now convinced that async/await is, in fact, a bad abstraction for most languages, and we should be aiming for something better instead and that I believe to be thread.
