The stabilization of async closures in Rust marks a significant improvement in the usability of async programming. Users have noted that the continuous enhancements to async capabilities, like the recent fix, alleviate previous frustrations and create a more seamless coding experience. However, developers still face challenges, particularly in the areas of ergonomics for cloning Rc/Arc self types and the need for stabilized generators. The hope is that with further improvements—including AsyncDrop—async Rust will become much more user-friendly and efficient, ultimately bridging the gap between async and synchronous Rust programming.
