It's worth pointing out that the ASGI support in this release is very low level, and doesn't let you write async views or anything yet. We're still working on that.
Am I correct to understand this as meaning async views can’t even read from the database yet? I guess the only use cases for ASGI views currently would be interacting with outside-Django backends that implement async support and such?
If I am willing to hack a bit, is it possible?
What is the main obstacle? Is it all middleware?
middleware is a part of it, then there's the ORM, caching and anything else that does IO.
Another option is using something like Tom Christie's orm project (https://github.com/encode/orm), which is a wrapper on top of sqlachemy with a django like interface.
Also, thank you and all the contributors for such amazing resource.
