I don't know if curio (or something like it) is the future or not, but it is something that I'm building for myself so that I can use it. I like it.  It fits my brain.

I'd just like to reiterate Brett's comment about async/await being a protocol in Python and something that can be customized.  I don't know if that was by design or a happy accident, but so far as I can tell, it might be unique to Python.  Every other language that has this seems to have it pretty well locked down to a very specific runtime implementation involving callbacks and futures.   Python's approach allowed me to run with it in a completely different direction.  I think that's pretty neat.

Cheers,
Dave


I would also like to thank everyone involved with defining async/await. I think the fact that async/await is an API and not something tightly bound to any specific event loop like in pretty much every other async-supporting language has been very beneficial to us and something to celebrate. The sheer fact that people who don't like asyncio, Twisted, Tornado, or curio have other options is fantastic.

This is a great post Nathaniel, and I think there’s a lot of value to extract from this for everyone.

In the short term, I’m going to address Twisted’s issue because it seems like the most glaring “this is a stupid bug” problem, and a quick glance at the relevant interfaces suggests it’s easily resolved. It also undermines my own personal mission to make Twisted a great HTTP/2 server. ;)
