Agreed `async` and `await` in Py3.5 made it so much easier for me to
understand the new async
stuff.

I've been toying around with aiohttp a bit and I can say it's actually
fairly enjoyable. Doesn't have all
the creature comforts I've enjoyed while working with Django in my day job,
but I can see some fairly
robust applications being created with aiohttp.
