A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Can we stop referring to the "what color is your function" post for languages it doesn't apply for? Contrary to Javascript (where it does apply), Rust with tokio has adapters for both async -> sync (Runtime::spawn_blocking) and sync -> async (Runtime::block_on). It probably isn't a good idea to overuse spawn_blocking but calling an async function from a sync one is literally no problem.
I am not sure what you mean.
What color is your function?
It's a ~~rant~~ opinion piece about the caveats of mixing async and sync functions, and divides code into 'red' (async) and 'blue' (sync) functions to explain the various problems associated with it.
I’m talking about the text in the “The problem with async” section in the article you linked in the OP.
