Wohoo. I was waiting for this. I hope that at a later point this will also mean that we get some sort of syntax support for it once it's stable and entered std.
What sort of syntax support do you have in mind? (Personally I think any language-level support is unlikely, given that Rust doesn't make a point of privileging any particular approach to concurrency.)
Ah yes, I wasn't thinking of async/await. I suppose there's enough precedence from other languages to warrant that, though this is probably far-future work (I don't even expect futures to land in the stdlib for quite a while, though I would like them to eventually).
