Wuyts: Why async Rust

Yoshua Wuyts gives an overview of async
Rust and why it is interesting.

Conversations around 'why async' often focus on performance - a
topic which is highly dependent on workloads, and results with
people wholly talking past each other. While performance is not a
bad reason to choose async Rust, we often we only notice
performance when we experience a lack of it. So I want to instead
on which features async Rust provides which aren't present in
non-async Rust.
