alt Hacker Newsasync rust is the worse async out there. I prayed that rust did not include a async at all. But the JS devs pushed it thru. That pretty much sealed my rust use. Im still salty.

You know what, I’ve heard people say this and thought “OK, maybe these other languages with GCs and huge runtimes really do something magical to make async a breeze”.
But then I actually tried both TypeScript and C#, and no. Writing correct async code in those languages is not any nicer at all. What the heck is “.ConfigureAwait(false)”? How fun do you really think debugging promise resolution is? Is it even possible to contain heap/GC pressure when every `await` allocates?
Phooey. Rust async is doing just fine.

Not sure who pushed async Rust, but at least async JS does work without having to hunt down for runtimes, and naturally the answer is always Tokio.
