Asynchronous C++
summary
C++26 exposes std::execution as a concrete Sender/Receiver vocabulary and the talk shows working code that connects that vocabulary to real I/O (IO uring and IOCP readiness models), timers and a trivial HTTP-style file server that is demonstrated to run. Key details: senders are lazy, connect produces an operation_state that start invokes exactly one completion, cancellation is racy but built‑in, and a counting scope plus when_all/when_any patterns enable clean shutdowns without spawning threads per request.
