Relevant RFC: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/2033-experimental-coroutines.md https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/2033-expe... This looks like a huge win for Rust. The syntax seems to follow the C# and ES async/await syntaxes. With stuff like this, I can see Rust-based webdev becoming popular.

http://www.arewewebyet.org/ http://www.arewewebyet.org/ On a serious note, one of my middling priorities (unfortunately :( It always feels like you can't choose most your high priorities) is to build a rust-based website and a couple of other rust-based projects t get a feel for the language. It really dose feel like all the parts are there already and that as things get added, it'll just get easier and better.

  Maybe try to find ways to bring rust into the middle of your higher priorities?

    I'm in the same boat as the GP, in that I want to use Rust for a lot of things that I think it would be good at, but I don't get to choose my high priority tasks. And for me at least, my high priority tasks are not the tasks that benefit from Rust over other languages. I could introduce it for the sake of my resume, or I could use the right tool. The former seems unprofessional and unproductive outside of jumping ship and leaving your co-workers with extra baggage.

    High priorities being family, house repairs, house maintenance, and work. Nothing extraordinary, and I guess one could argue house upkeep is chosen. I also have some personal programming projects I've been working on where I decided to value getting them out quickly vs learning a new language, and those are, all together, half done. I've also been debating learning modern C++ to open potentially open some doors to a slightly different career than web programming (railway signalling, probably a pipedream at this point, but). So, all in all, I love what rust represents, but it doesn't bring value right now. Once those personal projects wrap up my goal is to have a round of rust and C++ ones to do.

  That site is a bit out of date; I should send some PRs. "You can build stuff" is still a good summary, but lots of stuff has happened since this was last updated.
