# No-async async with Python # No-async async with Python
A (reasonable) criticism of async is that it tends to proliferate in your code. In order to `await` something, your functions must be `async` all the way up the call-stack. A (reasonable) criticism of async is that it tends to proliferate in your code. In order to `await` something, your functions must be `async` all the way up the call-stack. This tends to result in you making things `async` just to support that one call that needs it or, worse, adding `async` just-in-case. Given that going from `def` to `async def` is a breaking change there is a strong incentive to go straight there.
Before you know it, you have adopted a policy of "async all the things". Before you know it, you have adopted a policy of "async all the things".

Textual is very much an async framework, but doesn't *require* the app developer to use the `async` and `await` keywords. Async in Textual apps is entirely optional.

How often do you find yourself looping over an iterable and needing to know if an element is the first and/or last in the sequence? It's a simple thing, but I find myself nedding this a *lot*, so I wrote some helpers in [_loop.py](https://github.com/Textualize/textual/blob/main/src/textual/_loop.py).
