Hi everyone,
This is a very minimal amount of work to get Django async-safe and understanding ASGI as an application interface, but the idea is to land this so it's definitely in 3.0, and then work on getting async abilities down to views before the 3.0 feature freeze if we can.
Once those two things are down, we can then expand the effort out a lot more and have some work for new contributors to get their teeth into, as we can then start making all the other parts of Django async-capable as a parallel effort.
Reviews and comments on the PR are encouraged; I want to make sure this is not going to hurt existing sync Django when it lands, and that it's a useful stepping stone towards async in views.
Andrew
