Tokio 1.0 – async runtime for Rust

You probably think async code can't have deadlocks like threaded code can. Async is still multi-threaded it's just that the threads are done in user-space and contain an implicit global lock.

Async is not pre-emptive though (if using a single theaded executor). And thats where most of the unintutive behaviour of threads comes from.

Notice I didn't say async code is easier to reason about.
