By Welcoming Women, Python’s Founder Overcomes Closed Minds in Open Source
“Several years ago [Guido van Rossum] began tackling the diversity problem head-on, admitting in his keynote at PyCon 2015 in Montreal that there were no women among Python’s core developers, and that he was available to mentor women to fix that disparity.” I sat in the audience during that keynote and it’s great to see the progress that’s been made since 2015.

Tworoutines in Python (Post-Mortem)
Describes a style of coding in Python that permits easy mixing of synchronous and asynchronous code. At the core of it is a (decorator-based) synchronous wrapper around an asynchronous function, allowing a single piece of code to be called in either idiom. The catch is that this is discouraged by Python 3’s native async ecosystem, making this more of a post-mortem/retrospective article, rather than something you should start implementing in your own programs today. Still worth a read!
