As with a lot of technologies that are shiny and new, I think the industry has put too much emphasis on threads as the solution to all concurrency problems. I think we understand the problems better now.
What you can't take away from threads, though, is that they do help to manage complexity by decoupling the networking issues from the processing algorithm, whereas with asynchronicity you have to specifically re-write you algoritms to work in asynchronous way. AFAIK, it is generally agreed that threads are easier to write/understand/debug than asynchronous calls. Than what is your definition of superiority? If this is only about performance issues, we are not on the same page. Regards, Arkadiy
