The Piston image library is now pure Rust

I hope the same, but i don't have great hopes. For a community to adopt a library as fundamental as this one would be, it would need to be of such a high level that i think only the language designer can create it ( or other really big names in the field).

If you think of something like OTP, i don't see any equivalent anywhere else. Even akka isn't unanimously used as the foundation for server side dev on the jvm.

Two of the three Tokio core team members are on the core team of Rust, and one of them is on the language design team.

EDIT: to be clear, that means one is on both. The third member is very well-known as well; having built the async primitives that this is built on, as well as initially implementing Cargo. Bona fides aren't an issue here.

Didn't know that. That's clearly a good thing.
