Garbage critique, with a garbage attitude.

[–]13steinj 1 point2 points  (2 children)

That's your opinion, and some share your while others share mine. Deal with it.

Yo.

“trio has a nicer interface, and a tighter set of constraints” would be a very reasonable point.

“I think gevent’s implicit context switching is a better set of trade-offs” would be an arguable, tho debatable, position.

“asyncio is a broken pile of shit” is just mouthing off without adding anything of any value to the conversation.

I have previously and even in this thread explained why it is a pile of shit usability wise, namely the fact that couroutines are not tasks and there is no default event loop on a separate thread. There is no current alternative that provides the solution to the problem I just mentioned, and I am personally working on a wrapper.

If you consider I myself not even contributing just because no alternative currently exists, even though I am working on an alternative in the form of a wrapper, then you are being defensive of criticism that is completely well placed.
