Hacker News Reader

Whenever I see a blog post like this, if I don't know what the project is, I click the "Home" link to see if the homepage offers a more detailed description. I'd hope Tokio's is (relatively) clear in the detail it provides, is it not?

This post was intended for Tokio users, who would know what it is already. The author even said "this probably isn't relevant to HN" to me.

The main website shows this off, and it's the project's blog. I don't think every single post on a development blog needs to re-hash the whole project.

Tokio is "do that network transfer or disk read without freezing the program".

Except that takes a specific tokio package for each operation rather than being a kitchen sink of everything in one crate.

Oh so tokio is just the generic interface for any "do thing x without freezing", where the actual x comes from whatever implementation you include.

That's my understanding. It's a generic framework/interface for doing any kind of IO task without freezing the program.

Might help illuminate some things?
