Getting started with Tokio. The ultimate starter guide to writing async Rust.
Ғылым және технология
Async Rust is one of the more exciting developments of the last few years, and Tokio is a powerful framework to enable asynchronous code, which can provide performant and scalable solutions.
It's also scary and daunting to tackle without any understanding. This video aims to be the ultimate starter guide for writing async code with Tokio, and how to achieve performant code that's both blocking and non-blocking

Wow. Appreciate the hard work in compiling all this information in a precise way. Thanks. Very refreshing.
Super cool video! I was confused about async in rust for a long time but could not find the great one like this. Thanks!

best explanation to tokio i've seen thank you
I prefer smol/async-executor. It is much more lightweight and compiles like 10x faster. The only issue is that there are less libraries written for it then there are for Tokio, but this has not been that big of a deal for me.
Earned a sub man. Great video.

Excellent stuff..
Your video didn't directly address the issue I was running across. But thanks for explaining this in more detail, because having that understanding helped me figure out the issue I was having. This is awesome Thanks so much.

Appreciate your hard work! Reading from file in async context does not boost performance, because OS generally does not provide async API, Tokio spawn a thread from thread pool to work with file.

You're correct, it's no faster than reading from a file normally, but allows concurrency due to the use of the thread pool. Which can be somewhat quicker as it need not create a new thread to do so! But the file operation is the same.

@@dreamsofcode quicker at coding, slower at runtime (I mean, what is the point of async, if it make your code slower) you can't mix async code with sync code... I like to call `spawn_blocking` on sync api...
Great content. Please do a video about structured concurrency in rust.

Great content! I have one question regarding the futures though: If the future is only executed once await is called (generally speaking) that implies we would lose some performance here, would it not? Let's say we have an async database call. If we were to execute the call right away it might have completed already once we await it. But since execution is lazy it's only executed once we await it. This might not be a huge problem since we can use our resources for something else while awaiting the database's response (due to the use of a thread pool) but it would still add to our overall latency, would it not? Or do I have a fundamental misunderstanding of lazy execution in this context?

In the case that data is not ready for a future it goes into a PENDING state which will run a wake function when there is data available. Kinda like how u get mail when u hear the truck. Futures are designed to be incredibly efficient and zero cost

No u r on the right track btw In this case you can use join! macro to do other job while awaiting the db operation let (res, _) = join!(ur_db_operation, async { // ur other job here });

2:20 if you build release mode, it seems it resolves it automatically
huh, I tokio just provided a way to do async/await. I didn't know it had channels and green threads as well.
Reminds me a lot of Kotlin coroutines.
This is great! Now, when to pin and unpin please :)
Tokio is not a framework, it is a runtime. There is huge difference between each other. Axum, rocket etc is frameworks and they depending on tokio runtime.

The first two seconds the calls in a runtime. Haven't watched more to know if he slips up later, but yeah, you're right there's a difference

t’s a runtime in the same way people call react a library. In practice I’d say both are practically frameworks
someone tell me if and why this is an L take but shouldnt some of these features be in the std lib?
The fact that you have to use Tokio’s version of already implemented functionality on the std is really annoying.
beeg?
