Rust is quite bad on this, having to rely on external crates for error handling or macros is even worse than what async runtime to pick up.

Yes, I mean crates like anyerror and syn.

I'm all for including more things in the Rust standard library, but anyhow and syn are literally from a core Rust dev. It's not some left-pad rando, it's like a Linux user saying they don't trust the Git developer.
