TypeScript Sleep / Delay
The async/await-friendly version of `setTimeout`. The one-liner everyone re-invents — keep it in a util file. Optional AbortSignal lets you cancel mid-wait.
Rust axum — Hello World HTTP Server
axum is the tokio-team's web framework — composable, type-safe handlers built on tower middleware. The hello-world is small enough to read in one screen.
TypeScript Promisify a Callback Function
Convert a Node-style `(err, result)` callback API into a Promise-returning function. Type-safe via generics — the inferred Promise resolves to the original callback's result type.
Rust tokio::spawn — Independent Tasks
`spawn` runs a future on the runtime as an independent task — fire-and-forget, or `.await` the returned `JoinHandle` to get its result. Equivalent to threads but multiplexed onto the worker pool.
Rust Async/Await with tokio
`async fn` returns a future; `.await` drives it. tokio is the de-facto runtime. The `#[tokio::main]` attribute turns `main` into the runtime entry point.
Rust Fan-Out with try_join_all
Run N async operations concurrently and collect every Result. Fails fast on the first error; `join_all` is the variant that always waits for everyone.
Python Async Context Manager (aiohttp pattern)
Define an async resource using `@asynccontextmanager` from contextlib. Cleaner than writing a class with __aenter__/__aexit__ for one-off wrappers.
TypeScript Retry with Exponential Backoff + Jitter
Retry an async operation up to N times, doubling the delay each attempt with random jitter to avoid thundering herd. Decide retryability via an optional predicate so 4xx errors stop immediately.
Java CompletableFuture — Async Chains
`CompletableFuture` is the idiomatic way to compose async work. `thenApply` for sync transforms, `thenCompose` for async chains (flatMap), `exceptionally` for fallback on failure.
Rust reqwest GET + JSON Deserialize
`reqwest` is the standard HTTP client. Combined with serde, you can fetch and parse a JSON API response into a typed struct in three lines.
Rust tokio mpsc Channel
Async multi-producer / single-consumer channel. Producers `.send()`, the single receiver `.recv().await` items as they arrive. Bounded — the channel back-pressures producers when full.
Java HttpClient — Async (CompletableFuture)
`sendAsync` returns a `CompletableFuture<HttpResponse<T>>` — chain it like any other CF. Fan out N requests, wait for all with `CompletableFuture.allOf`.
TypeScript Throttle (leading-edge, typed)
Pair to debounce: fire on the first call, then ignore further calls for `interval` ms. Useful for rate-limiting scroll handlers or button clicks.
TypeScript Debounce (typed)
Wait until the caller stops invoking for `delay` ms, then call the function with the most recent arguments. The TS version preserves the original signature so the returned function has the same parameters.
Rust Async Timeout
Wrap any future in `tokio::time::timeout` to fail it if it takes too long. Returns `Err(Elapsed)` on timeout; you decide what to do next (retry, fall back, propagate).
TypeScript Promise with Timeout
Race a promise against a timeout — if the work takes longer than `ms`, reject with a timeout error. Cancels nothing on its own (use AbortController for that), but unblocks the caller.
Python asyncio.wait_for — Timeout Wrapper
Cancel a coroutine if it takes longer than `timeout` seconds. Raises asyncio.TimeoutError when fired so the caller can fall back. Python 3.11+ has asyncio.timeout() as a context-manager alternative.
Python asyncio.to_thread — Run Blocking Code
Wrap a blocking function so it doesn't freeze the event loop. asyncio.to_thread (3.9+) schedules the call onto the default executor and awaits the result.
