We are so close to building Rust code that handles HTTP requests. However, before we do that, we should really understand async programming in Rust, as the average web framework utilizes async code. However, it must be noted that you do not need to understand async code fully to code web servers in Rust. I have met plenty of web programmers building adequate servers who do not know how async code works under the hood. Feel free to skip this chapter if you are stretched for time or do not want to understand async rust code at a deeper level. If you are unsure, I would highly advise that you complete this chapter as understanding how async code works will give you a stronger ability to debug issues...
