ASYNC RUST IN THREE PARTS
Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter
Async/await in Rust is a way to achieve concurrency without using threads. Threads, while efficient for small numbers of tasks, become inefficient and resource-intensive when dealing with thousands of tasks. Async/await, using futures and tasks, is a more scalable and efficient way to manage concurrency, especially for tasks that involve I/O operations.
