An opinionated essay exploring common complaints and frustrations around async Rust's design, including the scoped task trilemma, function coloring debates, and the long journey to async closures. The author frames these as a 'bingo card' of recurring criticism topics while diving into the technical root causes like the leakpocalypse and borrowing constraints.
Background
Async Rust has been one of the most debated topics in the Rust community, with ongoing discussions about ergonomics, compiler complexity, and the split between executor-based and scheduler-based runtime models.
