A nice and long read about the history of async Rust. Gives a nice set of reasons for why it is as it is now.
I would still hope though that Rust would be more bold when it comes to making breaking changes that improve the language in the future. Given that the edition system was made exactly for that.
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.
Wow, didn’t know the people making Lemmy were that bad and deny genocides. But I also don’t have time to read and understand all the old posts, and I have no idea who the people are who are talking abotu this, so it is incredibly hard to say if it is trustworthy or not. Would be interesting to get a statement from the lemmy developers today about this, to see what they think about the uighur thing and north korea today.
Nice to see that they have trust in Rust!
