There's just only a little problem with async: it does not scale on multicore architectures or multiple nodes. At least not by itself. You have to mix it with other kinds of concurrency approaches to gain advantage of that. Erlang is async but it does scale everywhere by the way it was built. > If you're interested in doing asynchronous programming in Python but > without the painful callback style approach used by Twisted, check out > http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Eventlet.
