 @bf1b0fad @04022626 Async is hard:
We had such a discussion in the last days after the (technically inaccurate) post "Async Rust is a bad programming language". See community responses :)

Reducing Rust to IoT, Security and Webassembly is also very ignorant. Rust is a general purpose language that you can use as low level as you want.

Here is a technically better article, but this time against Go:

 @5150cec1 @bf1b0fad @04022626 

is there a concise summary somewhere of what was wrong with the async rust article? 
 @1c66f3fe I found this an interesting article with Reddit discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/16ebdi1/why_you_might_actually_want_async_in_your_project/

But it is biased towards smol. Personally, I would recommend to stick to Tokio especially if one is just starting with async.
