Developers are speaking out about the limitations of Async Rust.

Async seems like an underbaked idea across the board. Regular code was already async. When you need to wait for an async operation, the thread sleeps until ready and the kernel abstracts it away.

Many are experiencing code duplication issues.

I recently started working with Rust async. The main issue I am currently facing is code duplication: I have to duplicate every function that I want to support both asynchronous and blocking APIs.
