So, are threads still an option? I feel that many of these problems with generators could be solved with threads. No, because available operating systems can handle a few orders of magnitude more concurrent IO operations per process than they can handle threads per process. The idea of asynchronous programming is to only use additional threads when you really need them (i.e. for blocking synchronous operations with no asynchronous equivalent), thus

Cheers, Nick.
I'm realizing that I perhaps don't grasp the entirety of Asynchronous programming. However, The only results I have found are for .NET and C#. Would you like to recommend some online sources I could read?
