I don’t understand these kinds of strong emotions async python triggers in some people. It reminds me of the irrational hate towards systemd in the Linux world.
This is a platform for running workflows distributed on multiple machines, sometimes long-running and with lots of IO. Every single contender in the space advertises the same code, from temporal to hatchet to dagster. Because it makes sense to write it this way.
