I agree it's fair to say that this is more natural in Node, where it's a core part of the language.

But I'd like to note that Python can do it with packages like Twisted, which some people say inspired Node. Async is also built into recent versions of Python.

But it's more 'core' and broadly used in Node, I think.

Mark If i remember correct armin ronacher mentioned that python async has some issues. I would have to look it up again ;D searching the twitter feed.

But node was really built for async IO and IO in general so it was the core difference in performance where node can be seen as better. In the other things it's harder to measure and more about taste.

We would have to ask the creator of node ;D youtube.com/watch :D I

Twisted (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twisted_(software)) has been around for longer than Node has existed. It is very effective at networking and async I/O use cases that are a sweet spot for Node, but the programming model differed from mainstream Python. It fell into a niche as many developers followed the WSGI-based approach for web development. With asyncio becoming available in Python it is re-integrating into the mainstream of the Python community (asyncio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/twisted.html).

Brian Lyttle thx :D it's not exactly what I was saying, but I am known to miscommunicate. :D it's seam like the classic async await pattern vs a rather classic thread based approach.

Anyhow what i wanted to say, is thank you for that point of information :D !
