@e06c1f25 it's entirely possible to "avoid async rust as much as possible" if you're not writing primarily networked apps (or other kinds of apps that are asynchronous by nature). I should actually write a guide about that: if you don't really have performance constraints (most don't), it's really easy to pull off.
Please stop writing these: https://corrode.dev/blog/async/
This teaches you exactly one thing about async rust (futures must be polled to do work) 90% into the article and the rest is just... conjecture? Mourning async-std? Quoting other poorly researched pieces?
