async/await
Rust async syntax that makes future creation and waiting readable
Core Idea
async/await is Rust syntax for expressing future creation and waiting in a readable way. async fn builds the future, and .await hands control back to the runtime until that work can make progress.
Why It Matters Here
Mathbong uses async/await for Rust async basics, file I/O, and network request flows. It is the main syntax hub for handling waiting efficiently without just spawning more threads.
