@drewdevault I'd disagree here, a program can be I/O bound (let's say small requests to a slow service / on a slow network), but you might still want to e.g. accept input from the user while the slow service is doing its thing. If you don't have threads or async i/o, you're waiting on the network while the user thinks your program is broken.
