TLDR: I think that the primary benefit of async/await is that it lets us concisely express complex concurrency; any (potential) performance improvements are just a second-order effect. We should thus judge async primarily based on how it simplifies our code, not how (or if) it makes the code faster.| Kobzol’s blog
Aysnc/await in Rust is a couple years old now. Personally, I was very much into async Rust at first. Over the years, I've come to slowly dislike it. Now, I actively avoid it.

I was partially inspired by many others who have similar thoughts about async/await.| trouble.mataroa.blog
