Does the new asynchronous support mean that something like neomake is now possible?

It looks like it should do, although obviously plugins will need to be updated to support it, which could take a long time.

I'm also hoping for things like being able to run pep8 when saving, which currently blocks the UI for too long to be a realistic option unless you're running on a super powerful machine.

Actually there are quite a few checkers that I have running at save, where blocking for a second or two isn't too awful, which perhaps will be able to run near-continuously in the glorious async future.
