Description
Could we keep a list of what libraries work with async-std's pluggable runtimes?
In particular, the tokio ecosystem seems somewhat "closed", in that those libraries often require tokio to operate. As a user, it's confusing, because many of these libraries are not clear about whether they *require* tokio. For example, I asked about using hyper with async-std's runtime; maybe it's just me, but I found the response hard to understand: https://github.com/hyperium/hyper/issues/2111
My use case is that 1) I use a custom runtime for running tests, and 2) I want my release binaries to use async-std's new runtime (that automatically handles blocking threads).
Thanks!
