To keep it simple, try thinking like this (and yes, Yury, apologies - this is now a side discussion, and not about this pep): everything in CPython is async, and if you don't want async, you don't need to know about, you run a single async task and don't need to know more...
Can we get there? That would be cool...
So, essentially, something similar to Golang? I don’t know if that’s possible. It would require a complete CPython IO layer rewrite, integrating an event loop directly into the core, etc. The closest thing to that is gevent — no async/await and all IO is non-blocking, but it has its own warts.
Warts in "all in on async", or on gevent (which isn't integrated. Very interested to hear your thoughts - redirect discussion to wherever is the right channel. - Yarko
