  Thanks, it's great to see Django adding slowly but surely in all sorts of places.

  By the way, have you looked at tortoise orm, which is a fully async python ORM with very Django-like syntax? [1]

  Awesome!

  For those of us a little out of the loop, is this implementation being developed with guidance from the core Django devs with a view to adopting into core?

  (I tried to find any references in the Django forums but may have missed them)

  I believe they intend to have native support for async with the ORM, but it’s a monumental feature to add with lots of edge cases. I believe about 50% of Django is it’s ORM.
