Discussing emerging memory and Rust

[DrizztVD1]

Somewhat ironically, the great work that has been done by the various C#, Java, JavaScript, and Rust core developers bringing asynchronous I/O programming to the masses is now hampering performance in this shiny new world of non-volatile memory. The overhead of even the most efficient futures-based async I/O is simply massive in comparison to the latency of NVDIMMs, which are byte-addressible and are only 2-3x slower than normal DIMMs. When your storage latency is measured in nanoseconds, individual instructions matter and user-to-kernel transitions are murder…

Here we see an opinion expressed by @peter_bertok on how Rust handles non-volatile (NV) memory. Discuss away.
