The nice thing about Rust not having Async IO built into the language is that arbitrary third-party implementations are possible on a level playing field with the async framework being developed by the core team.
For example, there is the May[1] concurrency library. It provides alternative implementations of the standard library's IO interface, but does Go's automatic suspend/resume, so it still looks like blocking code, which is nice. From what I can tell it's still early days on a one-person project, but it is interesting, at least.
