FROM ASYNC/AWAIT TO VIRTUAL THREADS

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Virtual threads in Python have the potential to be a better alternative to async/await for concurrent programming. While async/await exposed more people to concurrency, it introduced complex machinery and colored functions, unlike threads, which are simpler in concept. Embracing threads with structured concurrency and virtual threads can improve ergonomics and performance, moving complexity to the interpreter and internal APIs.
