I agree on the bloat, considering my rust projects typically don't use any shared libraries other than a libc a few Mb for a binary including hundreds of crates in dependencies (most pf which are part of rustc or cargo itself), doesn't seem so bad. I do get the asynch thing. It just isn't the right tool for most of my needs. Unless you are in the situation where you need to wait faster (for connections usually) threads are better for trying to compute faster than asynch is.
