Introduction to Async in Rust

[@Roibarkan]

42:12 I think that for single threaded runtimes, the interaction (polling) with the O/S and resumption of task is actually done “within” the block_on() function - so the thread that’s blocking on some async activity is “donating” it hardware resources for the needed O/S interaction.

Looking forward to more support in the embedded domain. Since most embedded processors don't have the ability to create multiple threads, it would be really helpful for programs which need to keep track of multiple ongoing asynchronous tasks.

That was some great introduction and summary about the state of async in Rust
