asyncio vs cothreads

[Robatronic]

It seems to me that asyncio will work on both Windows and *nix.

Is there a compelling reason to use cothreads in Unix-land....?

My recent projects have exclusively used asyncio over cothread.

From my understanding the main reason to stick to cothread is if you need to interface with code that already uses it, as trying to mix the two different systems can easily lead to a lot of mysterious, hard-to-debug, issues.

You can also use cothread if you wish to avoid ever having to use async/await in your code.
