[Sacho]

The two articles you list actually agree with each other - the second one is basically a more thorough argumentation of the points raised in the first one.

For example, the first article agrees that "async is colored"(despite the title), but that the big issue of "colored" functions, "You can only call a red function from within another red function", doesn't exist in Rust. This is also a major point in the second article.

I think a more accurate description would be that Rust async is informed by painful async implementations(Javascript) and has tried to avoid most of their shortcomings.
