Techniques for Writing Concurrent Applications with Asynchronous I/O in Rust

Explore techniques for writing concurrent applications with asynchronous I/O in this 32-minute Rust conference talk. Delve into the comparison between asynchronous and traditional synchronous approaches, examining how they impact application architecture. Learn to implement asynchronous I/O in multi-threaded concurrent applications, starting with a high-level overview before diving into code examples. Discover useful code idioms and best practices for designing ergonomic Rust APIs, including methods for storing callbacks with unique types, calling them from different threads, and achieving lifetimes shorter than 'static in threads. Gain insights from real-world experience in developing a Web framework using the asynchronous version of Hyper, with principles applicable to lower-level libraries and other protocol stacks.
