The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Rust async is colored, and that’s not a big deal
What do you mean by that? Blocking functions (without any yield points) certainly exist in Haskell, unless one uses -fno-omit-yields (see here).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing forward-chan and async you can also consider the following projects:
streamly - High performance, concurrent functional programming abstractions
throttle-io-stream - Throttler between a producer and a consumer function
restricted-workers - Interactive-diagrams
async-combinators
rwlock - A simple implementation of a multiple-reader / single-writer locks using STM
theatre - Minimalistic actor library for Haskell
consumers
kazura-queue
named-lock - A named lock that is created on demand.
conceit - Concurrently + Either
mvar-lock - A trivial lock based on MVar
