The gist looks good enough for a lightning talk IMO @agriyakhetarpal. If possible, you may talk about the overheads for both the strategies (ex. ProcessPoolExecutor might have to write and read back from a Process Control Block) for different scenarios @TwistingTwists.

TBF I don't see any mention of asyncio but I am assuming you'll give a small demo around using these two concurrent.futures modules with it?

I'd personally like to know more about this - and would appreciate it if you could update the gist and maybe upgrade to proper slides (Google Slides, Slides.com, whatever works for you).

I agree with @Animesh-Ghosh – the content should be alright for our audience, but going the extra mile with a small demo would be great. I'd love to hear such a talk as well.

I think we can accept this as a lightning talk for today (apologies for the short notice!), and if you wish to, we can have a longer, thirty-minute session in January.

Also, yes – if you can, please bring some slides!
