Async story?

[ereichert]

First, this looks extremely promising at first glance. The top level DSL looks fantastic. Nice job.

Second, do you have plans for an async version?

Just saw you used Hyper. That may answer the question.

Thank you!

Certainly. I discuss this in the README:

Future Improvements

Rocket is currently built on a synchronous HTTP backend. Once the Rust
asynchronous I/O libraries have stabilized, a migration to a new, more
performant HTTP backend is planned. We expect performance to improve
significantly at that time. The Stabilize HTTP Library issue tracks the progress
on this front.

Definitely want to switch over to async as soon as the ecosystem matures.

Ah. Hadn't got to the README yet. Went straight to the code. Gotta eat my dinner before desert next time. :)
