Why I Switched from Python to Clojure (2016)

I wrote a pretty substantial experiment using asyncio for 100k websocket client connections across a massive theoretical fleet of robots. It's not open source but the general result was that I used to hate async in Python and now I love it.

The syntax makes blending sync and async easy. And the cooperative multitasking paradigm is very easy to reason about. No locks!

If you did a write-up or went into more detail about your experience, I'd read it.

Big fan of Python and am heavily invested in its ecosystem, but I currently prefer async programming in modern JavaScript compared to Python.

Did you make use of third-party async libraries?

I'm going to ask my boss to open source it and then do a write up.
