Client uses a ton of Python too, mind you they have a very special interpreter. https://github.com/stackless-dev/stackless/wiki/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

For the sake of “well, actually” completionism, this is possible in Python with stackless or the gevent library and some hacks, but when Guido and pals backed the standard awful way of doing async in commercial languages (async/await and colored functions) this practice fell by the wayside.

That's true for a vast majority of devs, but not for everyone. There are people like Jon Blow and projects like https://vlang.io. - Source: Hacker News / 29 days ago

The creator of V made some big claims that raised a few eyeballs, they've gained a reasonable following over the years, have a pretty serious looking website (https://vlang.io) a beer-money level Patreon following and some corporate partnerships/sponsors. However have experienced some pretty brutal takedowns over the years, with some of the bolder claims about the language/compiler being exposed as being.
