I suspect Rust makes asynchronous programming significantly more
bearable. Programming in JS in that style is often painful due to the
noise of all those function() { } spread through the code and bugs
connected with accessing stuff that should only be ready later. Rust
nicely addresses that with shorter syntax for closures/macros and move
semantics.
So an experiment of writing in asynchronous style in Rust and
comparing that with C++/JS/other languages would be very useful to
judge.
