Description
I started to take part of asyncio development at ancient times when the library had called Tulip.
We made a bunch of libraries under aio-libs umbrella: aiohttp as the most popular asyncio web client and server library, drivers for PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, ElasticSearch, Mongo etc.
asyncio proved its reliability, and now it is quite famous: thousands of GitHub projects are based on asyncio, very many companies use asyncio as a basement for their infrastructure.
The overall design is good but we made several minor mistakes, most of them are fixed by Python 3.6 and 3.7.
By the talk, I want to share my asyncio knowledge and my current understanding of best practices learned the hard way.
