Joe Duffy on Midori and async/await in a C# dialect: http://joeduffyblog.com/2015/11/19/asynchronous-everything/ http://joeduffyblog.com/2015/11/19/asynchronous

  Where he notes that the .NET implementation wasn't without issues on Midori. Which is again another point of how the whole Rust's async/await process failed to learn from previous experiences. Even worse, because in what concerns .NET, the runtime is part of the story, while in Rust that is yet another piece of the puzzle that is in motion, not yet decided, although it can be anything as long it is tokio.

I think it is definitely not worth it in most languages. Whether it is appropriate for rust I'm unconvinced. I think it is DOA in C++ with its required allocation, but I have yet to use it in anger.

      I only have used them in C++/WinRT, as they are a kind of required to handle anything WinRT, and it was kind of ok when doing UWP, although it was much more complex as in WinRT case, it also takes into account how COM/WinRT compartments work.
