I've written a few production-facing applications with Tokio; and I think the author exactly identifies the stumbling blocks I hit while learning the landscape.

My takeaway from working with Tokio is that it's a fairly low-level abstraction and doesn't do much to address the challenges of building networked _applications_. And this is OK.

We'll need higher-level layers that use Tokio, however, to address more specific use cases. I'll point to the nascent tower-grpc[1] library as something in this direction. I hope to see more things like this fall out of our work on Conduit[2].
