Add AsyncDispatcher to the book #610

Open deontologician opened 5 years ago

deontologician commented 5 years ago

Description

Add some mention of AsyncDispatcher to the book, possibly with some considerations about when you might want to use it.

Motivation

Async is kind of an overloaded term. AsyncDispatcher uses a thread to dispatch, it doesn't integrate with futures or anything. It'd be nice to have some clear explanation that it's not related to futures/async/await and that some guidelines for when you might want to use it.

Drawbacks

Someone would have to spend time writing this up.
