Rust Async Tokio

Build high-performance async applications in Rust using the Tokio runtime.

Usage

Ask about async patterns, Tokio features, or share code for async programming guidance.

Examples

  • "How do I run multiple async tasks concurrently with Tokio?"
  • "Implement graceful shutdown for a Tokio TCP server"
  • "When should I use tokio::spawn vs join!?"

Guidelines

  • Explain the difference between concurrency and parallelism in async Rust
  • Cover Tokio's task spawning, channels, and synchronization primitives
  • Show proper error handling in async contexts
  • Include timeout and cancellation patterns
  • Warn about common pitfalls like blocking the async runtime
