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.

Catch 22! Rust in Review
I believe the solution mentioned in rust-lang/wg-async is the way to go: Add traits like AsyncWrite, AsyncRead, Executor/Runtime to the std so that tokio/async-std can implement them.

Async Rust: What is a runtime? Here is how tokio works under the hood
This is a consequence of runtimes relying on global variables that their core future types are dependent on. Creating abstractions to solve this problem is one of the main goals of the the async working group [0].

How should I structure an async/await/futures program with multiple event sources and mutable state?
Provided the futures you're selecting over are cancellation safe the plain loop over select! should be fine. Multiple channels in particular are safe to select over - if you have futures that aren't cancellation safe, you can just wrap them up in a task on the end of a channel and then select on that.

What Rust feature are you waiting for?
I'd like to be able to write runtime agnostic async libs.

Rust Weird Expressions
You might be interested in taking a look at and potentially participating in the "Async Vision Document"[1] which is an exercise the team is going through to collect feedback about the current state of the ecosystem and what the pain points are, as well as a way to lay doing what the desired future state of async Rust should be[2]. The process is happening, as you would expect, in the open and there's still time to influence it[3] if your concerns aren't yet addressed or even mentioned[4].

Building a shared vision for Async Rust
Thanks for the feedback. I posted this comment to a relevant github issue, fyi.

crates.io now has more than 100,000 crates!
And yet C and C++ also have similar functionality. Even if the difference were measured in hundreds of milliseconds, I'd still want to trim down the set of supported formats in my projects and, guess what... the project I most have in mind is an image gallery version of miniserve where I want to statically link everything.

Looking for a way to host files.
Second this. Both Dufs or Miniserve are good lightweight options.

When using Wireguard to VPN into my home network, I cannot access local sites with their hostnames (despite the "dig" command" showing the correct addresses) but can access them fine when using the sites' IP addresses.
On a server machine I have Miniserve (a simple service to serve files from a folder over a website) running at 192.168.0.24:50090 or server.local.obfuscated.duckdns.org:50090.

Using Rust as my Backend
miniserve is an example of an app sort of like that (no SQL, but it'll do file downloads and uploads). I'm currently using it to work on something similar but for quickly throwing up image galleries.

Any Rust based forum software?
actix-web was the big name in "runs on stable Rust" for a long time and it's what I use, as well as what's used by things like miniserve, paired with Maud.

What are some alternatives?
When comparing wg-async and miniserve you can also consider the following projects:
