Finally, a language that can compete with C++ on complexity and size of error messages!

This is still an unstable library (futures and Tokio are both still 0.1 release) actively being developed, in general I tend not to see crazy compile errors working on synchronous projects. FWIF I’ve made a Chip8 emulator with Rust and am working on a Z80 emulator now.

Yeah, sync projects are just pure pleasure to work with. The language is ergonomic, errors are easy to read and tooling is the best ever.

The problems right now start when you want to go async. I follow the development because I want to see easy, safe and fast way of writing async programs, and there's lots of interesting development happening with Rust.
