A look back at asynchronous Rust

In 2013, I discovered the Rust programming language and quickly decided to learn it and make it my main programming language.

In 2017, I moved to Berlin and joined Parity as a Rust developer. The task that occupied my first few months was to build rust-libp2p, a peer-to-peer library in asynchronous Rust (~89k lines of code at the moment). Afterwards, I integrated it in Substrate (~400k lines of code), and have since then been the maintainer of the networking part of the code base.

In the light of this recent blog post and this twitter interaction, I thought it could be a good idea to lay down some of the issues I’ve encountered over time through experience…
