async/await with async-std
summary
Claim: async/await stabilises around the conference and async-std ports libstd into async equivalents, exposing familiar types and JoinHandle semantics. It ships innovations like single allocation tasks and a unified spawn model including spawn blocking. Benchmarks show a 1.56× win on a 256K file read, Mutex up to 9× faster under contention, spawn rates on par with Tokio and a channel-ring score at 0.9×; 1.0 release is imminent and channels remain unstable pending API decisions.
