Going to keep praying for type/performance optimizations in Python so we can all get past the "python is slow" thing.

Async python is an absolute joy to develop with.

Care to elaborate which type of work you're doing and which libraries you're using?

Libraries:

aiohttp: web framework

aiopg: async postgres driver with SQLAlchemy support

asyncssh: async ssh library with SFTP capability

I generally work on CRUD microservices to automate some steps of a business workflow - activating/registering a resource with our vendors, generating and updating pricing, picking up new files off an FTP site and processing.
