Django
Async ORM (a-prefixed methods)
aget, acreate, acount, afirst and async iteration, added in Django 4.1, with asave/adelete and the related-manager methods in 4.2.
Why interviewers ask about it
Correct the old claim that the ORM is synchronous. Then add the nuance: these give an async-safe interface, but execute on a thread - not native async drivers.
