Hi folks!

I have explained the joy of rust at length on my channel, HOWEVER, some of what I have mentioned breaks down when interacting with async rust.

Though the compiler is getting more and more helpful with each iteration, async is still a sharp edge, especially for newcomers.

But you don't have to use it.

Hope you like the video, I learned a lot about the plumbing of the rust's async system and threads while making it. I'd love to know your thoughts, especially as we're right up against my understanding!

Next month, if all goes well, I will be publishing my grand unified theory of building a second brain with Obsidian!

Thank you so much for your support,

Tris <3

Sounds like more echo? Different recording environment? Or it’s me - forgot I am in a bathroom and had turned it up ☺️

I agree a lot with what you said about rayon and preferring to use std::thread over async. It always felt like a lot of overhead for something that was pretty trivial to use out of the box if you do it right. Would love to hear more on your thoughts about the future of async in rust, and what that means for other runtimes

Funny enough, my first major project got stun-locked by weird/over-my-head Tokio "stream" stuff that I couldn't figure out.

Very exciting; I did have to search the definition of concurrency and parallelism; it would have been nice to have in the video

I just started running into this myself, this video is super timely. The most mature web service framework (axum) is built on top of tokio; do you have an alternative you'd recommend?

I have great news! As I said towards the end of the video - tokio's actually fine for servers like axum, the static issue doesn't really affect the request-response lifecycle :-D
