Conversation
Add interview question #16 covering Python's native async/await syntax: concurrency vs. parallelism, event loop mechanics, coroutines/awaitables/ tasks, structured concurrency with asyncio.TaskGroup (3.11+), async context managers/iterators, and common pitfalls. All examples use Python 3.12+ syntax. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
