His intro: Today I will explain why I often call async/await the "new billion dollar mistake": a mistake that has probably caused billions in developer productivity and bugs in the past ten years, especially in the context of Rust.

Thanks for taking the time to respond and analyze my comment! - The bigger the slope (in space), the faster (in time) the temperature changes at that point -

I have to confess that I got it wrong, indeed: the right side of the equation is a Laplacian. But, rather than describing an average in temperature, it describes the divergence of the temperature field.

Thanks @photon_lines! In your temperature diagram, you mention that every point will take the average of the neighboring points. However, the equation is not a constraint on the temperature but on the "change of the slope (or gradient) of the temperature". The bigger the slope (in space), the faster (in time) the temperature changes at that point!
