Rust was always a corporation/FAANG language when you looked at contributors and sponsors, so it's probably not real reason, I mean it is clear async was rushed out for AWS/Amazon and everyone celebrated it nonetheless.

People like to hide motives

I'm curious to the story behind async being rushed out for Amazon

The Amazon bit is new, but it's a pervasive myth that Rust's async was rushed. Also, that Pin<T> was a design mistake.

However, this is very strongly refuted. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26410487

Considering how long it took for async, and the depth of proposals, I wouldn't call it rushed at all.
