What do you mean? Async/await uses threads

• bhouston 2y ago
  I was trying to make sense of this sentence of the original commenter: "In new code I try to use threads, but certain things like yield which rely on async are simply too common and useful to stop using." Seems to suggest that threads and yield/async were mutually exclusive. I misunderstood. I will move on.

    To use async await you have to execute the code in a run loop.

      ... and you can push CPU-intensive stuff off to a thread-executor to avoid blocking the async run-loop

    They aren't mutually exclusive, but are two basically independent features. The way you would code for one and the other is completely different.
