pls provide a decent async io / http library before we even get started what else can be done in Rust

I have found Rust library coverage to be really good for my requirements. Hyper (https://hyper.rs/guides/client/basic/) provides an async HTTP client although I have never needed it.

Personally, if I had an application that was heavily using HTTP I would choose a different language -- Java, Scala and Go would be good choices.

Again what is your use case. Ours was to have a high performance compiled code that can be slower than Java by a factor of 10. Unfortunately Rust could cut it.
