The Node Experiment - Exploring Async Basics with Rust

This book aims to take a look at the why and how of concurrent programming. First we build a good foundation of basic knowledge, before we use that knowledge to investigate how Node.js works by building a Node-inspired runtime.

The rendered version can be found here: The Node Experiment - Exploring Async Basics with Rust.
