> Oxy heavily relies on open-source dependencies, with hyper and tokio being the backbone of the framework It seems almost every single production async framework uses tokio instead of async-std. Has tokio won? Is there a reason in 2023 not to use tokio as the async base?

Bytedance has their in-house monoio https://github.com/bytedance/monoio> (supports io-uring) but it requires rust nightly. On some benchmarks & applications it outperforms tokio by a significant margin. https://github.com/bytedance/monoio/blob/master/docs/en/benc...>

While it is interesting that they achieved a technical feat, is there any reason for this article to be here? It teaches us nothing apart from the fact that Cloudflare did a thing.

You're on a site with "news" in its name. The word news can be defined as "information about things people did".

Another async framework might give smaller binaries, important for Linux routers and things.
