Networked software often ends up written in Go for one simple reason: goroutines. They are tiny, fast, and cheap enough to run by the millions.

So where does that leave Python?

Where Python networking struggles

Python has good networking libraries, but its dominant concurrency model is asyncio. Inside one event loop, tasks take turns running cooperatively.

Think of it like a restaurant with one line. Customers order, sit down, and get their food when it's ready. It works great -- until one customer holds up the waiter.
