Explore the inner workings of async/await in Rust through this 34-minute conference talk from RustFest Barcelona. Gain insights into the compiler's handling of async/await code, understand its performance implications, and learn to avoid common pitfalls. Discover cutting-edge applications of async/await and coroutines beyond web servers, and leave with a deeper understanding of runtime behavior and compiler operations. Delve into topics such as request handling, performance optimization, big expressions, and potential use cases, while also learning about opportunities to contribute to Rust's async/await ecosystem.
