alt Hacker NewsLove Rust. They simply missed the mark with async. Swing and a miss.
The risk they took was very calculated. Unfortunately they’re bad at math and chose the wrong trade-offs.
Ah well. Shit happens.

They chose the exact same tradeoffs as C++'s async/await (and the same overall model as Python/NodeJS), so I'm not sure what that says about programming as a whole.

I think Rust has a pretty solid async implementation, compared to other systems languages. I struggle to point out another systems language with a working and actually used async implementation.
