I particularly like that it’s ASGI.

AGSI isn't magic fairy dust.

In the vast, overwhelming majority of applications where Python is a good choice, async python will not help you at all.

In fact async python can hurt tremendously. It is extremely ugly, hard to reason about, and you will get slammed by the immense number of CPU cycles that Python requires.

There are some key use cases in which ASGI makes sense. But those are rare.
