why’d they move past it? does libuv not fit well in rust?

Rust used to have a lot of stuff built into the language, including garbage collection![0] I think that a long time ago they chose to move stuff out into libraries so that Rust could be a serious competitor to C++.

Back then, Rust had a built-in runtime. It was removed, and libuv with it.
