  • What/Why
    • Multi-threading in between the lines
    • Many of the benefits of multiprocessing without the overhead/complexity
  • How
    • Coroutines
    • Thread-Local Memory
    • Blocking vs Non-Blocking operations
      • Blocking: arithmetic
      • Non-Blocking: Reading from the network card into thread-local memory
    • Interpreter locking
      • Typescript: Single threaded
      • Python: GIL
  • Implementations
    • Polling (not-Asynchronous)
    • Callbacks (interrupts)
    • Multithreading (with queues/message passing)
    • Promise/Futures
    • Async/Await
