Testimonials

At some point I guess we should make a proper page of these, or highlight some of them in the README or something? For now I'm just making this page to collect kind words about trio so they don't get lost:

• "I already wrote what I think is a lot of code already using Trio — my first Python async library [...]. It's beautiful and even though I had quite some experience as a programmer, I'm writing code now that wasn't possible for me before. So for that – a big, big thank you." – https://gitter.im/python-trio/general?at=620e325b4164105ab0a1008d

• "Personal anecdote: We have a system that talks to LetsEncrypt to manage certificates for a cluster, and that's built with Twisted because we built it like 5 years ago. And it worked great until LetsEncrypt retired their version 1 API and the library we were using didn't support version 2. And it was quicker and easier to learn Trio and reimplement the whole system in Trio from scratch, then it was to try and update the library to use the slightly different v2 API and deploy a new version of the thing we already had. So Trio is great." – @jerith at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y408pjAoxes&t=2203s

• "Since you are here, I want to really thank you for the amazing job you've done on trio [...] I've been fighting a lot with asyncio which really made me fell like it's not a pythonic library, trio on the other hand achieved of bringing simplicity to complex things which is what Python should all be about" – https://github.com/python-trio/pytest-trio/issues/14#issuecomment-350454257

• "Trio is excellent, the documentation as well" – https://github.com/python-trio/trio/issues/369#issuecomment-350393464

• "I was reading dozen of asytnc articles when i met TRIO DOCS omg!! Thank you for these docs for REAL HUMANS..." – https://gitter.im/python-trio/general?at=5a3fd7d60163b02810748f78

• "pytest-trio + autojump clock feels like magic. The scary and awe-inducing kind of magic that I want in all aspects of my life. 👍" – https://gitter.im/python-trio/general?at=5a82f717ce68c3bc747efe51

• "the way that trio really thinks through the various async control flow issues is just very attractive" – https://github.com/python-trio/trio/issues/449#issuecomment-367796899

• "... I have been struggling for a couple days ... After stumbling upon trio, I was up and running EXACTLY as I envisioned it in about 10 minutes. What a breath of fresh air. Well done. So easy and seemless." – https://gitter.im/python-trio/general?at=5ab8242f2b9dfdbc3a1fe9b1

• "Clustree is now using trio in production in a externally facing product" – https://gitter.im/python-trio/general?at=5ac72a39c574b1aa3e71912a

• Kenneth Reitz discovers Trio's control-C handling: "trio is really great: re ctrl-c. twisted frustrated the hell out of me after getting used to that. Ctrl-C for humans™" – https://gitter.im/python-trio/general?at=5aae466afa066c532542685f

• "Hi, I've just found Trio 2 days ago, and I've joined to say that I've fallen in love with it :D" – https://gitter.im/python-trio/general?at=5af2257440f24c43046238b4

• "I like trio very much~ It’s friendly and beautiful" – https://gitter.im/python-trio/general?at=5b16b521a45f930a6502ad30

• this amazing testimonial from Donald Stufft on deploying Trio as part of PyPI's production stack: https://gitter.im/python-trio/general?at=5b53f400e06d7e74099420fb (we should write this up as a tiny little case study or something)

• "I should congratulate you; the codebase is really nice, and the people even more so!" – https://github.com/python-trio/trio/pull/575#issuecomment-411313692

• "finally got a chance to write some code with Trio-- most fun I've had with concurrency since never! No callbacks, almost no locking, no explicitly maintained context and associated state machines, no task lifetime obscurity, no manual plumbing of cancellations, no errors dropped on the floor, no shutdown hiccups. Rename it TriØ." – https://gitter.im/python-trio/general?at=5b70486f637ee66082dde38b

• "Awesome concurrency library! I almost gave up on trying to use concurrency in Python. But Trio inspired me to stick with it." – https://github.com/python-trio/trio/issues/618

• "i used to use twisted and tornado, so trio was a refreshing surprise in how succinct the code could be" – https://gitter.im/python-trio/general?at=5b85fc927649b9063e1b2dcf

• "I've been studying trio for a while now and boy, it is a breath of fresh air -- in terms of API design, documentation and even in the clarity of design (and code) it brings to me. Thank you @njsmith for your fantastic explanations in your blogs and in the docs." – https://github.com/python-trio/trio/issues/635

• "I tried the built-in asyncio, twisted, curio, PodSixNet / This is the only one I have been able to grok so far. Very happy about that" – https://gitter.im/python-trio/general?at=5bb16d835af4853068408dfb

• "You've gone and made something that is to asyncio as attrs is to classes and pendulum is to datetime! [...] I've got at least 3 different problems and a few solutions for other things I am not happy with at work I'm already having ideas about approaching with trio" – https://gitter.im/python-trio/general?at=5c3d26450999400604f09a91

• "Those tracebacks are beautiful! They are structured and clear and helpful, which is exactly what you want when you’re getting unexpected tracebacks. Knowing the effort that went into making them so helpful makes me feel … cared for?" – https://trio.discourse.group/t/discussion-beautiful-tracebacks-in-trio-v0-7-0/29/2?u=njs

• "Wow... trio by @vorpalsmith has got to be one of the best APIs I've used in a while. Was stuck on a difficult async scenario in Python. On the verge of pulling all my hair out, a friend recommended me the Trio video from PyCon and I had it done a few minutes later :D. The abstractions that Trio uses just "makes sense". Your code effectively becomes so easy to reason about." – https://twitter.com/SeekPratik/status/1127010154178854912

• I really like the trio community and technology, I'd like to keep learning about the backend and helping you guys. Right now I have project that runs on top of trio and might go into production soon so I'd like to give back! - https://github.com/python-trio/trio/pull/1513#issuecomment-632035432

• By the way: thanks. Trio is a really neat project, from the code to the documentation everything is really well designed. This brings joy to my programming \o/ - https://gitter.im/python-trio/general?at=5ece0a07a91f120a6cc614fa
