Yeah, i have recently finished a tokio based server. Working with future combinators is very frustrating. I accidentally captured a variable in a closure(should be cloned and moved), and it didn't tell me where it happened, just an error saying requires 'static lifetime for the variable.

The new async/await stuff will help a lot with this; it'll enable borrowing across futures, which will remove this requirement and make things a lot simpler.

Are there any plans to make them happen this year?

Not just this year, but by the third quarter.
