Overview of this book

Step into the world of asynchronous programming with confidence by conquering the challenges of unclear concepts with this hands-on guide. Using functional examples, this book simplifies the trickiest concepts, exploring goroutines, fibers, futures, and callbacks to help you navigate the vast Rust async ecosystem with ease. You’ll start by building a solid foundation in asynchronous programming and explore diverse strategies for modeling program flow. The book then guides you through concepts like epoll, coroutines, green threads, and callbacks using practical examples. The final section focuses on Rust, examining futures, generators, and the reactor-executor pattern. You’ll apply your knowledge to create your own runtime, solidifying expertise in this dynamic domain. Throughout the book, you’ll not only gain proficiency in Rust's async features but also see how Rust models asynchronous program flow. By the end of the book, you'll possess the knowledge and practical skills needed to actively contribute to the Rust async ecosystem.

Technical requirements

The examples in this chapter will build on the code from the previous chapter, so the requirements are the same. The examples will all be cross-platform and work on all platforms that Rust (https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/rustc/platform-support.html) and mio (https://github.com/tokio-rs/mio#platforms) support. The only thing you need is Rust installed and this book’s GitHub repository downloaded locally. All the code in this chapter can be found in the ch09 folder.

To follow the examples step by step, you’ll also need corofy installed on your machine. If you didn’t install it in Chapter 7, install it now by going into the ch07/corofy folder in the repository and running the following:

cargo install --force --path .

We’ll also use delayserver in this example, so you need to open a separate terminal, enter the delayserver folder at the root of the repository, and write cargo run so that it’s ready and available for the...
