Well, Ext4, BtrFS, XFS and ReiserFS have very similar APIs. In fact,
they exist to solve the same problems. One day, a file system might
emerge that supersedes all other file systems.

It's a similar deal between asyncio and threading. The problem space is
the same: managing concurrency with almost identical programming models.
