This is a recurring comment, but I would argue that it's not "rushed" but rather "incomplete" from supporting ecosystem (like a futures library being reactor-agnostic).
Async/Await is great for a couple of things, but not a silver bullet. So, apart from high-throughput network applications, (like web/app servers), you should stick to regular threads and channels. You can leverage Actor-based concurrency in your program that isn't async.

Because it's genuinely great ! I've been writing Rust code since 2018, and at that time "Golang" in titles would get all the hype. I get the urge to keep things as a secret underground in a true Hacker spirit. Relax : nobody is going to spoil Rust and Rust isn't going to become a new Javascript.
