    Here are some more realistic examples utilizing the official HN API. The async version is almost 30 times faster than the sync version when you set the total to a high number, the maximum is about 500. Performance tables are in the code itself.

  • PyO3

    Rust bindings for the Python interpreter

    I love Trio, much better than the standard asyncio.

    > It's not needed, yes, but neither is Python itself. You could just write C.

    I'm currently learning C, so I can use Python as a front-end for C, giving users a nice interface while using C to handle the hard work, which is what lots of Python libraries do under the hood.

    If C is not your thing, there are some interesting projects to use other languages with Python [https://github.com/PyO3/PyO3] | [https://github.com/yglukhov/nimpy]

  • InfluxDB
