Why you might actually want async in your project (notgull.net)

I would really wish that the async ecosystem would not be based around runtimes, but would separate runtimes from async libraries. Like let me do file IO async without having to choose between async-std, Tokio, or whatnot for that.

Practically speaking, you don't have to.

Your executor of choice should be doing tokio compat for you, one way or another, so you don't have to worry about it (e.g. async-global-executor with the tokio feature).

async-std is dead.

I think it's something being worked on. Unfortunately I can't recall the details offhand.
