Recently, I found myself returning to a compelling series of blog posts titled
Zero-cost futures in Rust
by Aaron Turon about what would become the foundation of Rust's async ecosyste…
The new API of hyper proper is very low-level. Directly usable API is apparently moved to a hyper-util crate, which, as expected, does have a hard dependency on the tokio runtime.
So, while it’s good that hyper proper won’t hard-depend on tokio rt, it appears that non-tokio-rt usage will either depend on a higher-level 3d party crate, or a lot of effort
from direct hyper dependants to write a lot of glue code themselves.
FYI, I had some time to check out
