You’ll see more of that over the next few months. The roadmap process for rust kicks off with an end-of-the-year call for blog posts about what you want to see in Rust the next year. That invariably brings up areas where Rust could be improved, that’s kind of the point! We’re beta testing the last improvements for the year now, so looking at last year’s posts isn’t going to give you an accurate picture; a lot has happened in the last year!

That said, I can give you at least one thing where Rust needs to, and will be, improving over the next months: the async story is finally settling into place, but hasn’t settled yet. Async/await is coming and will improve things so so much. Right now things are a bit boiler-platey, and you can’t always write what would be equivalently idiomatic to the sync code.
