What do you mean compact story? How do humans not understand asyncio? I think I pretty much do, and I use it in production, with several interconnected services. How has curio been morphing? How is morphing actually a good thing? Isn't it bad that an api is unstable?

Overall I understood little to nothing from your comment.



The curio module has not been morphing, which is part of what I like about it.

The async module has been changing, which like you, I dislike. The "right" way to do asyncio would have been to properly mull the design into its final form and then introduce it into Python3. Instead, it appears to have been dribbled in piecemeal over several releases.

Beyond that, it's just plain complex and confusing. I haven't bothered to use it for anything so far. I'm hoping someone will show up with a machete and cut it down into something usable. Right now, it resembles C++.


Yeah I haven't actually used it until 3.6.9 where it turned into its current final form. What is confusing about asyncio and how does curio solve that problem?
