Hi Cory

When you say "investigating new methods", do you mean new-to-the-world, or 
new-to-practitioners (or to some subset of practitioners, or some 
ecosystem)?  If the former, do you have citations?  I don't think of 
Python as a CS research language exactly -- except that pseudocode is 
often Python, or Python-flavoured -- nor am I aware of what async things 
had their start in Python -- even as far as 'pragmatics' goes.
