Today we’re adding the outbound flow — connecting to remote nodes so our Actors can talk to Actors on other nodes. Imagine our system was like a post office with only receiving capabilities. Now we’re adding delivery services so it can both receive and send mail. Simply put, we’re upgrading from “can only answer phone calls” to “can both answer and make phone calls.” ...

Rust Async Unveiled: The Secret to Making Code ‘Slack Off’ While Doubling Efficiency! Hello, future Rust master! Today we’re diving into a fascinating topic: asynchronous programming (Async).

It doesn’t play “magic tricks” - everything is laid out in the open, both explicit and efficient, and after compilation, it’s almost “zero-cost”! ...
