Note that their example is something like making a hello world web server using twisted (or whatever the current async framework is) in python...

Strange example, but I suppose making the corresponding python more complex is one way to make them equivalent.

For reference I'd say the "current async framework" is either Starlette [1] (low level) or FastAPI [2] (high level) for web stuff, and trio [3] for more stupidproof general async than twisted. IMHO of course!

Thanks, I appreciate it :)
