Why you might actually want async in your project
Why you might actually want async in your project
There is a common sentiment I’ve seen over and over in the Rust community that I think is ignorant at best and harmful at worst.
You're viewing a single thread.
I would really wish that the async ecosystem would not be based around runtimes, but would separate runtimes from async libraries. Like let me do file IO async without having to choose between async-std, Tokio, or whatnot for that.
Practically speaking, you don't have to.
Your executor of choice should be doing
tokiocompat for you, one way or another, so you don't have to worry about it (e.g. async-global-executor with thetokiofeature).async-stdis dead.I think it's something being worked on. Unfortunately I can't recall the details offhand.
