Eh. I disagree.

I've been including Eventlet in a lot of my comments lately, but not because I have any affiliation with it (I don't). But it has quite literally made asynchronous coding so much easier that going back to deferreds or callbacks is a huge inconvenience.

My comments previously reflect equally on deferreds and callback-based asynchronous programming. Of course those make async programming hard.

It doesn't have to be that hard.
