Isn't Go's scheduler just as versatile?

I'm not an expert on the go scheduler, but my perception is that it is more of a focused single-purpose component whereas tokio seems like a sprawling swiss-army-knife of a library if you browse the source

The tokio scheduler and the go scheduler are roughly equivalent. Much of tokios bulk is reimplementing much of the std lib in an async compatible way (io, os, blocking).

If you browse the source, the go scheduler has complexities to deal with that tokio doesn't as well. The thread pool is unified between worker threads & blocking threads. Go also does goroutine preemption via signaling/SuspendThread + a background monitor thread called sysmon. Go does garbage collection and the tracing/race-detection/semantics are tightly coupled to both its allocator and it's scheduler. Go also exposes and maintains its entire standard library which includes an http client/server (tokio the org maintains their own as hyper but its separated from tokio the runtime). It can be fair to argue that Go is just as "swiss-army-knife" of a system as tokio.

It's much more versatile but also has many more years of optimization.
