Well, I'm leaping ahead to the end of the story, here, and speaking far too loosely about technical details. ;-) Futures + tokio + a possible future async/await proposal would provide a reasonable enough syntax for actors/coroutines in Rust, I suspect.

From the author of the mioco coroutine library, there is a new attempt to implement coroutines on top of tokio: https://github.com/dpc/tokio-fiber/ (still under construction, it seems)
