How do you guys even do asynchronous code in your programming language? It seems like everyone is copying C#'s method of doing it and even then it's not as good and easy as C#'s way. Why is everyone copying and still playing catch up?
How Do People Deal Without Async/Await?

Using async/await is the simplest thing of the world. Make you write your code as if it was synchronous. What is this retarded question?
Robert King
Not every language has it, and those that do, aren't as simple and efficient as C#'s async await.
Josiah Carter
Callbacks existed for decades. But I agree, async/await (or similar concept) is way better than fucking callbacks. The error handling alone in nested callback is nightmare. By the way, can you switch threads with async/await in C#? Probably you can, but if for some reason you can't then it's pretty bad. In Kotlin (which I use) you can easily switch from one thread to another and then back to the caller thread in suspend functions (aka red/blue functions).
Sebastian Carter
lame, come back when you have zero cost async/await like Rust.
Jackson Williams
Async/await model is outdated and overrhyped. Look at Kotlin/Go coroutines
Austin Perry
I never minded the concurrency system in Go, using C# most of the time currently and I don't think the async/await automatic state machine building is all that amazing. It's quite productive though.
I've looked at co_await / co_yield type stuff in C++ and it does not look enjoyable to use without the language support you get in c#.
Luke Robinson
Rust is truly the greatest programming language of our generation.
Brandon Evans
No nighly required. Rust stabilized zero cost async/await 2 years ago.
Microsoyboys on suicide watch right now.
Kayden Fisher
Good luck chaining multiple tasks and error handling them with that method.
Robert Adams
C# did it in 2011. Rust is about 9 years late to the party and is still copying C#.
Carter Lee
The `?` operator does that for you.
Rust is the most powerful programming language.
Adam Collins
uh oh, C# still can't copy Rust's zero-cost async await.
Keep up, boomer
Ian Young
what's wrong with promises
Grayson Sanchez
Real languages have these things called "threads", you'll learn about it when you grow up
Joshua Allen
Does C# not have actual threads?
use std::thread;
let thread_join_handle = thread::spawn(move || {
// some work here
});
// some work here
let res = thread_join_handle.join();

futures
stackfull coroutines
etc... none of this is really new.
Carson Bennett
>Does C# not have actual threads?
Don't be stupid, of course it does have it since 2003.
Hunter Edwards
real languages implement their own threading abstractions though, boomer.
Zachary Cook
When did rust get so based, bros? I thought it was supposed to suck
Jack Bailey
it never did.
Adrian Morales
Real languages don't need a thousand retarded abstractions on top of basic features because they're used by real programmers.

>can you switch threads with async/await in C#?
kind of
awaiting an async method will switch from background thread to the caller thread, which can be optionally disabled
also all async methods run synchronously until they hit await, you can forcefully create another thread by using Task.Run()
