update the book for async/await
This issue tracks inclusion of information about async/await into the Book. This will happen in the 2018 edition.
Tracking issue: None
This feature is no longer blocking rust 2018, and so neither is the docs for it.
Hello, I'm newish to Rust. Long time fan but I've been waiting for Async/Await to stabilize before jumping into the code. With the release of 1.36 this coming Nov 7th, async/await will be official.
I'm wondering if you have plans for new material?
Oh, wow... That's actually more than I hoped. So much to learn, so little time 😬
To be clear, we do eventually plan on covering it in the book, but are unsure how to go about it just yet. It's gonna be a while. This feature is important, so we do want to do it, it's just not simple.
The async book is first match on my web searches (I am using duckduckgo, search "rust async"), bumping this as I think there is value in integrating, as well as possibly updating the book with anything relevant. I am in the process of initiating my first toy rust project and I appreciate coherent documentation.
Would it make sense to keep it standalone instead and add to "grow with rust" section of rust-lang.org?
We also believe that it is important for the book to cover async/await. However, we cannot promise this will happen at any particular time.

It is not really clear to me what you're asking about specifically. What is 'it'?
I've also noticed a lack of async chapters in the current book, are there plans to add it now? How can I help?
I'm working on a revision of the print version of the book for the 2021 edition, and it's already quite late. So given my availability, I decided not to include async this revision. Please check out the excellent async book.
