Hardly exciting stuff, async libraries have been doing this for things like DNS queries (where there's no portable non-blocking API) for decades. Good for Nginx addon devs I guess.

Will you be exited if I tell you that nginx doing async DNS queries for decades without threads? It has it's own async resolver implementation.

Just because it's been done in other tools doesn't make it "hardly exciting" when an often-used tool that was lacking a feature adds it.

He conflated exciting with "new development in computer science".
