> Rust's model definitely maps much more easily to a kernel, since the dominant pattern will be to drain a buffer, poke a device, and then wait for an interrupt to happen (the interrupt handler calling the wake function).
What is nice about Rusts model is that it prevents the continuation from running inline the event handler which signaled the completion. That avoids a ton of reentrancy issues and questions around "where does my code actually run"? That indeed makes it also interesting to use for interrupt handlers, since it is guaranteed that the code which waits for the interrupt to happen runs purely in the executors thread and will not accidentally take over the interrupt handler.
