so is it a little syntax sugar on top of the multiprocess module to please ios developers?

there's nothing new that i can see under the hood

no, asyncio is a completely different module and paradigm from multiprocessing. the new standard syntax uses asyncio, and none of it has anything to do with ios

I mentioned iOS because Apple's Grand Central Dispatch API is something I wish Python had. Python's multitasking is so complicated while Apple's GCD is so elegant. It's sad really.

Your example is trivially parallelized with some decorators from the dask library.

I hadn't seen Dask before this. Thanks!

Sure!

If you like it, can you please blog about it (and post on hn)? Needs exposure outside the python data community.
