Thanks, there are some good pain points there. > - The strict string handling. What about strings that should be UTF-8 but come over a network protocol? From your description, it looks like you're looking for String::{from_utf8,from_utf8_lossy,from_utf8_unchecked}[0], but I'm guessing you've seen those already, so I'm confused. > - Combining async code with non-async code. Also, how do you write a library that does I/O and supports both sync and async? I think you'll have to just duplicate the code, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
