I wish Rust would adopt tokio (or any other, if better suited) as a default first citizen async runtime. Then everyone can be sure to write in that runtime , knowingly it will run. If people need a different runtime, they could still opt out of tokio and opt in to whatever they like. The freedom of choice would not be hindered, but we would gain a default runtime.
What's stopping this from happening?
Is that even desirable? There are other runtimes for specific things, e.g. for embedded, WASM, Fuchsia, etc. Doesn't seem like there's a one-size-fits-all runtime.
I guess the proper answer is some kind of minimum standard async interface, but presumably there's a reason they haven't done that.
I dunno really, I've avoided async Rust as much as possible due to the number of footguns it has.
