RE: Async Python is Ugly

Here is that exact example with standard asyncio

import asyncio

async def get_user_data():
    # We must use await and asyncio.sleep. 
    # Standard time.sleep() would block the entire program here.
    await asyncio.sleep(1) 
    return {"name": "Michael"}

async def get_posts():
    await asyncio.sleep(1)
    return ["Post 1", "Post 2"]

def render_page(user_data, posts):
    return f"User: {user_data['name']}, Posts: {len(posts)}"

async def main():
    # We have to explicitly tell asyncio to run these together.
    # If we just awaited them one by one, they would run sequentially.
    user_data, posts = await asyncio.gather(get_user_data(), get_posts())
    
    # Then we manually pass the results to the next function
    result = render_page(user_data, posts)
    print(result)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # We have to manually start the event loop
    asyncio.run(main())

Mainly the having to manage the async def function and those can not be used with normal def function (at least not easily) and how the main() loop works in that one, where you have to await asyncio.gather() and asyncio.run() it can start to get REALLY complicated REALLY fast.

wove makes it clean and easy.
