Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
The article discusses Zig's new approach to asynchronous I/O operations, introducing a new interface for I/O operations and highlighting the connection to async/await in Zig. It emphasizes the caller's role in providing the Io interface for I/O operations.
