[−][src]Crate async_std

Async version of the Rust standard library.

Modules in this crate are organized in the same way as in the standard library, except blocking functions have been replaced with async functions and threads have been replaced with lightweight tasks.

More information, reading materials, and other resources:

Examples

Spawn a task and block the current thread on its result:

use async_std::task;

fn main() {
    task::block_on(async {
        println!("Hello, world!");
    })
}
