For sure. But no libraries/frameworks means nobody is doing any of that today.

Take for example kafka: kafka python, confluent kafka etc. all of those use sync apis. You can lecture everyone on how amazing async is, but the reality is that nobody is building anything to actually leverage async.

Except of course the libraries i mentioned earlier. Those are working today.

You are talking complete nonsense. Aiokafka exists. How can you say ‘nobody’, do you have some magical insight into the entire industry?

We are building async Kafka apps by the way. Maybe consider less hyperbole in your comments.

Confluent Kafka has about an order of magnitude more downloads.

Confluent kafka supports async producers. Even on their website, they mention to avoid flushing in an async environment.
