> So it is very frustrating to see the discourse focused on inaccurate statements about async Rust

> No, ajross is very confidently making false descriptions of how async Rust and io-using operate. This website favors people who sound right whether or not they are, because most readers are not well informed but have a ridiculous confidence that they can infer what is true based on the tone and language used by a commenter. I find this deplorable and think this website is a big part of why discourse around computer science is so ignorant, and I respond accordingly when someone confronts me with comments like this.

They had an inaccurate (from your point of view) understanding. That's all. If they were wrong that's not a reason to attack them. If you think they were over-confident (personally I don't) that's still not a reason to attack them.

Again, I think ajross set out their understanding in a clear and polite manner. You should correct them in a similar manner.
