✨ Shiny future stories: template
This is a template for adding new "shiny future" stories. To propose a new shiny future PR, do the following:
- Create a new file in the
shiny_futuredirectory named something likeAlan_loves_foo.mdorGrace_does_bar_and_its_great.md, and start from the raw source from this template. You can replace all the italicized stuff. :) - Do not add a link to your story to the
SUMMARY.mdfile; we'll do it after merging, otherwise there will be too many conflicts.

🚧 Warning: Draft status 🚧
This is a draft "shiny future" story submitted as part of the brainstorming period. It is derived from what actual Rust users wish async Rust should be, and is meant to deal with some of the challenges that Async Rust programmers face today.
If you would like to expand on this story, or adjust the answers to the FAQ, feel free to open a PR making edits (but keep in mind that, as peoples needs and desires for async Rust may differ greatly, shiny future stories cannot be wrong. At worst they are only useful for a small set of people or their problems might be better solved with alternative solutions). Alternatively, you may wish to add your own shiny vision story!
The story
Write your story here! Feel free to add subsections, citations, links, code examples, whatever you think is best.
