The Evolution of Async Rust: From Tokio to High-Level Applications

Tokio is widely considered the most popular and foundational Rust library, acting as the standard asynchronous runtime for building high-performance, concurrent network applications. In this livestream, Vitaly Bragilevsky invites Tokio’s author Carl Lerche to talk about the evolution of async Rust – from system programming to the backbone of backend and databases. They will cover the current state of Tokio, existing pain points, and the future of the ecosystem. This year, the Tokio team is organizing TokioConf (https://www.tokioconf.com/) – a space to swap ideas, learn from each other, and help the community figure out where async Rust goes next.
