[clehner]

Bindings should be async where possible.

... with notes and pointers to relevant issues/PRs:

• [x] HTTP

• [x] web (WASM)
• [ ] Dart/Flutter - uses C. #283
• [ ] Go - uses C
• [ ] CLI - n/a?
• [ ] C - can use threads?
• [ ] Java (JNI)

Please don't make this API async. It's 99% local computation. I am right now struggling with trying to use it from django; it hangs when served with gunicorn, not when served with the development server

Could you open an issue on https://github.com/spruceid/didkit-python so we can see if something can be done on DIDKit's side?

I got to the bottom of it, the problem was gunicorn. To run an asynchronous app one apparently uses asgi and guvicorn. Problem went away. On May 23, 2024, at 13:20, Simon Bihel @.***> wrote:
