Trio is a new asynchronous library for I/O based concurrency in Python emphasizing correctness, causality and simplicity. It attempts to make composing and understanding async code easy for both the beginner and expert alike. Concepts introduced in trio's design are now being adopted in the standard library's asyncio as well as being considered or used in modern languages like Rust and Kotlin. Join me as I go through the differences between async/await libraries in the Python ecosystem and discuss how trio attempts to improve on prior approaches such that you'll never spawn a task willy-nilly ever again. The general outline will include: - An initial overview on the pitfalls (discovered) in asyncio - A brief look at how curio took on the experiment of doing away with callbacks and futures and provides a more explicit task spawning API - A detailed dive into how trio took curio's coroutines-only approach and additionally introduced an API enforcing structured concurrency through its use of a hierarchical task model, nurseries and cancel scopes - A quick summary of existing libraries and ongoing efforts in the trio community to unify async I/O frameworks - Thoughts on how other concurrency models can adopt trionic concepts for use in multi-core and distributed computing The end goal for this talk to enable anyone who has not yet (heavily) used async/await to feel very confident and excited that they can begin learning Python's approach to cooperative multi-tasking, writing production grade systems, and partaking in a fast growing and welcoming community with trio!
