How can I get started with async programming in Rust?

To start with async programming in Rust, you'll want to familiarize yourself with the async and await keywords. Have you installed the Rust toolchain?

Yes, I have Rust installed. What libraries should I use?

You should consider using the tokio or async-std libraries. They provide excellent support for async programming. Would you like examples of how to use them?

Yes, please provide an example using Tokio.

Sure! Here's a simple example using Tokio to create an async function:

use tokio::time;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    time::sleep(time::Duration::from_secs(2)).await;
    println!("Hello from async Rust!");
}

This code will wait for 2 seconds before printing the message.
