I honestly don't know, why async got so popular. It seems like the entire reason for doing it was that some blokes were hellbent on using JS on a server and couldn't fathom that a second thread might be a good idea.
Async rust with the Tokio Framework is pretty cool. Need none of that JS bloat for async.
Async Rust sucks. I hate how many libraries use it, forcing it apon you.
You suck, I hate how your comment was forced "apon" me. Anyone who claims things that they can easily avoid if theyre so opinionated against them are "forced upon" them are always pathetic people.
Have you programmed with rust a day in your life? Once you introduce one library that requires Tokio async you have to start wrapping all your calls that involve it in async shit.
So many better concurrency patterns out there.
And these libraries are not easily avoidable. Ex: most AWS libraries require it.
And forgive me for a stupid typo, I have had little sleep the last week but you are an asshole that thinks belittling people somehow makes you right so it doesn't really matter.
