Writing code is tough, asking a new programmer to write async code might be considered a human rights violation. Rust as a language has learnt from the many experiments that came before it, giving us a great taste of what good tooling can do to empower the developers writing and reading code.

1. What is async?
2. Who should work with async?
3. Why do we write async?
4. How to not shoot yourself in the foot while writing async?
