Is it possible to implement all types of operations asynchronously?

Answer from AI

Not all types of operations can be effectively implemented asynchronously. Asynchronous operations are well-suited for input/output operations (network requests, file handling, databases), where waiting for a response is involved. However, computational operations that require intensive CPU usage are usually performed synchronously or in separate threads/processes, because asynchrony in Python (for example, with asyncio) does not provide CPU-level parallelism due to the GIL.

Example: reading a file can be done asynchronously, but complex calculations are better offloaded to a separate thread or process.
