Thanks. I'm not sure that it helped. I kind of gibbered a bit when Dave said
that threaded code was good because you can easily reason about it. Most of
his talk is about how asyncio shouldn't be in the standard library, and the
rest didn't really answer my questions.

What I'm taking from this is that asynchronous programming is mindboggling
difficult to reason about or understand, and its the best thing ever.
