What is the best way to get started with async programming in Rust using async-std?

To get started with async programming in Rust using async-std, first, ensure you have Rust installed. Then, create a new project using cargo new my_async_project.

What dependencies do I need to add to my Cargo.toml?

You need to add async-std to your Cargo.toml file. It should look like this:

[dependencies]
async-std = "1.10"

Can you show me a simple example of an async function?

Sure! Here’s a simple example:

use async_std::task;

fn main() {
    task::block_on(async {
        println!("Hello, async world!");
    });
}

How do I run this async function?

You can run your Rust program using the command cargo run in your terminal. This will execute the main function.
