If I remember the previous Web3 discussion correctly, the result was basically that async has no business being shoehorned in WSGI, that WSGI's model is fundamentally unfit for async and you can't correctly support sync and async with the same spec, and therefore an asynchronous equivalent to WSGI should be developed separately, in order to correctly match the needs of asynchronous servers and interfaces, without the cruft and inadequacies of being forked from a synchronous gateway model.
