Async Rust is a Bad Language
Very good intro and thought provoking article on #concurrency and #parallelism, and their use in #Rust.
It champions #TonyHoare's #CSP model of concurrency which takes me back. Back to the time I failed to get funding for a start-up to build an #Occam compiler targeting i386. Which was largely a ploy to get the UK government to buy me some neat kit 🤷♂️
Anyway, here's the article:

Interesting talk by Turing-Award decorated Tony Hoare
