Async Rust Is A Bad Language

So with another async runtime it's possible to write async Rust that doesn't need to be thread-safe??? Can you show some example?

You don't even need other runtimes for this. Tokio includes a single-threaded runtime and tools for dealing with tasks that aren't thread safe, like LocalSet and spawn_local, that doesn't require the future to be Send.

Every executor (including tokio) supports spawning Futures that aren't Send:

There is a lot of misinformation in this thread, with people not knowing what they're talking about.
