Yeah, seems like some things were a bit rushed (async) because there was a worry about marketing and adoption -- worries that I think most of us will agree should have been lower priority.
But we also know that things to do stdlib to die, right? Python is a famous example; almost every Python dev I know never uses the builtin HTTP client APIs.
So eh, I am okay with having de facto standards in the form of widely accepted libraries.
On a separate note, I had really high hopes for Rust 2021 edition. They had a chance to introduce new syntaxes and address error handling at least but they opted not to do so. Disappointing.
