Funny, I explicitly waited to see async baked in before I even started experimenting with Rust. It's kind of critical to most things I work on. Beyond that, I've found that the async models in rust (along with tokio/axum, etc) have been pretty nice and clean in practice. Though most of my experience is with C# and JS/TS environments, the latter of which had about a decade of growing pains.
