Yes, Rust and Servo both use libuv as the native async I/O layer. It's been fantastic for us as an easy-to-use API that works on Windows. Kudos to Ryan Dahl and Joyent for creating it.
Kudos should go to Bert Belder and Ben Noordhuis of Cloud9 who built much of libuv and Igor Zinkovsky of Microsoft has contributed a lot of important work as well. As well many other contributors.
The public forum should follow democratic ways... I dont like the idea of costing karmas, when in such public forums, one have full right to speak freely for free...
My mistake, it's actually 2 weeks ("mid-September" is the target date). Still close. It's still an alpha, but there are huge changes, and most importantly, syntax becomes "slushy" after 0.4 (not frozen, but massive changes have a high bar to clear).
Rust is still a nebula.... I expect a beginner freindly tutorial after some more stability in syntax. Now, pc will have a better answer for the availabilty beginner's tutorial... Good Documentation and Tutorial is factually a must....
Having said that, I am enjoying Rust, and I will have it as my primary production language for real software in future.(By next year, as Greydon say, when it is a bit more stable. Till then its just acedemic coding)
And Patrick(reminding), People are asking for a good beginer's tutorial...
