I generally don't agree with the direction withoutboats went with asynchricity but you are reading in a whole lot more into that sentence than is really there.

I generally don't agree with the direction withoutboats went with asynchricity but you are reading in a whole lot more into that sentence than is really there. It is very clear (based on his writing, in this and other articles) that he went with the solution because he thinks it is the right one, on a technical level.
I don't agree, but making it sound like it was about marketing the language to JavaScript people is just wrong.
- geodel 3y ago> was about marketing the language to JavaScript people is just wrong. No it seems very right to me. Rust despite being "Systems language" was not satisfied with market size of systems programing and they really needed all those millions of JS programmers to make language a big success.
- withoutboats3 3y agoThis is a lie. Async/await was developed to support systems that need to use non-blocking IO for performance reasons, not to appeal to JS programmers.
