I just wanted to add that I'm really excited for this change. On PyCon Sweden 2015 I held a "Why Django Sucks"-presentation where I talked about where the web is heading, and why django is lagging behind. The main point was lack of support for async. After the presentation lots of people came forward, and made clear that:
1. They would really like async support in Django 2. Django would NEVER be what I'd hope for. "That would need a separate deamon process", "That would be too much work", "Nah, Django should just leave the web stuff for Javascript and become an API". That Andrew is pushing the project in this direction, makes me more excited for Django than I've been in a long time.
