You beat me to it.

However, I'm hoping asyncio will steer the Python faithful away from
blocking threads to the "right way" of doing networking. The Java people
came to their senses with the advent of NIO.

I think one of the main remaining sticking points is database access. I
barely do any database stuff, but last I checked it's all done with
synchronous APIs.
