> However sometimes you don't really have a choice, and this super cool crate you want to use is async or sync (obviously always the version you don't need right now), and you have to make it work. Doesn't the whole crate get colored, though, because now it requires an async runtime? Or is it possible to synchronously run an async function without a runtime? Genuinely asking; I haven't used this stuff yet firsthand
