Stop worrying about blocking: the new async-std runtime for Rust, inspired by Go
async.rs
async.rs
How does this work? Does the runtime tracks duration for each future?

I would imagine that the future object will be moved. And for move to be cheap are they allocated on heap by the runtime?

Awesome!
There's a watchdog. It's similar to the sysmon thread used in go: https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/programming/GoSched...

The trick is to steal the runtime on the thread, not the task being executed, which makes the process constant time ;).
