Never Snooze a Future

This article explains 'snoozing' in async Rust—when a future that requested a wakeup is never polled again—and demonstrates how it causes deadlocks (futurelocks) through concrete examples using select!, loops, and streams. The author argues snoozing is almost always a bug and explores the differences between snoozing, cancellation, and starvation in async Rust programs.
