How does async Rust work

  626 14,211 6.9 Rust

  The Rust Programming Language

  

Covering async in The Book wasn't explicitly decided against, this is the relevant issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/book/issues/1275

  Glommio is a thread-per-core crate that makes writing highly parallel asynchronous applications in a thread-per-core architecture easier for rustaceans.

  Rust async runtime based on io-uring.

  

I believe this is also "thread-per-core".

  Tic-Tac-Toe benchmark in various languages

Erlang is a great example of a language designed concurrency-first — thanks for reminding me. I've seen some amazing deployments with it. Its failure to gain larger traction is partly because that design makes it difficult to use for "normal" code, partly because it is so unfamiliar, and partly because its compiler's generated code efficiency in sequential code is… lackluster benchmark.

  1 11 10.0 Haskell

That said, having written a networked service in Haskell that has been up for many years, I doubt I would do it again. I/O in Haskell is just gross and makes everything hard. (I ended up rewriting much of Haskell's printf package as part of that project. It's… better now, I guess?) If I use that service in a class again, I will probably take the time to Rewrite it in Rust™.
