Why asynchronous Rust doesn't work

  Actix Web is a powerful, pragmatic, and extremely fast web framework for Rust.

  

  There is also a actor pattern implementation for Rust: https://actix.rs/

  But yeah, the way Erlang embededded the actor pattern in the VM (Beam) and the language itself is great.

  Tough personally I would have liked it if it was more statically typed. I still need to take a look at Gleam...

  Safe Rust bridge for creating Erlang NIF functions

  

  Rust + Erlang/Elixir is a fantastic combo. Rust is safer than C, so there's a smaller risk that it ends up crashing and taking the entire VM with it. Rustler[0][1] makes the integration a breeze.

  ...and someone asked about good code to learn from on Reddit a day or two ago and was advised to read basically any code by dtolnay or burntsushi, two of the big wizards who feel like they've written half the Rust ecosystem at times.

  I've found async to be straight forward anytime I've used it. Promise#then is equivalent to callbacks

  async/await often requires very little changes compared to synchronous code, whereas reworking a program into callbacks is much more impactful. & the async/await compilation process tends to produce better performance in addition to this. My first async/await work was a few years ago to increase a data importer's performance by an order of magnitude compared to the blocking code

  Here's an example where looping made for a callback that recursively called, using async/await I get to use a plain loop:

  before: https://github.com/serprex/Befunge/blob/946ea0024c4d87a1b75d...

  after: https://github.com/serprex/Befunge/blob/9677ddddb7a26b7a17dd...

  I don't see why people find it so complicated to separate begin-compute & wait-on-compute

  I've since rewritten a nodejs game server into rust, https://github.com/serprex/openEtG/tree/master/src/rs/server... handleget/handlews are quite straight forward
