Zac Hatfield-Dodds - Scaling Structured Concurrency - SF Python @ GGU (2023-06-14)
Zac discusses the advantages of using async Python for structured concurrency. He explores the benefits of error handling, timeouts, cancellation, and readable code that async programming offers. Zac introduces tools like flake8-trio for static analysis and demonstrate how dynamic analysis can help identify potential issues. With these techniques, even inexperienced developers can write elegant #async code for various applications, such as web scraping, process management, or game development, without worrying about common pitfalls.
