Re:Python has had async for 10 years – why isn't it more pop... by pkulak on Tuesday September 02, 2025 @06:41PM (#45110052)
Green threads can be nicer to program in, but it’s not like there’s no cost. You still need a stack for every green thread, just like you need one for every normal thread. I think it’s worth it to figure out a good system for stackless async. Something like Kotlin is about as good as it gets. Rust is getting there, despite all the ownership issues, which would exist in green threads too.
