The scientific features are only of interest to the (drum roll) scientific community.

Async interests potentially everybody, including the server guys, the backend guys AND the scientific community.

Not to mention that this is a few contained classes, whereas the scientific stuff is tons and tons of code to be included into Python, including lots of Fortran and C, that would more than triple the size of the standard library.

Lastly, node.js? Lots of languages have a good story for async, from C# and Scala, to Go and Rust...
