The future of asynchronous Rust

Some of the things that make async Rust different from other languages are unavoidable. Asynchronous Rust is very efficient, has low latency, and is backed by a very strong type system due to how the language is designed and its core values.

However, much of the perceived complexity today has more to do with the ecosystem and the kind of issues that result from a lot of programmers having to agree on the best way to solve different problems without any formal structure. The ecosystem gets fragmented for a while, and together with the fact that asynchronous programming is a topic that’s difficult for a lot of programmers, it ends up adding to the cognitive load associated with asynchronous Rust.

All the issues and pain points I’ve mentioned in this chapter are constantly getting better. Some points that would have been on this list a few years ago are not even worth mentioning today.

More and more common traits and abstractions...
