Ah, yes, that was probably it. I stopped looking into Rust's Futures pretty much as soon as I noticed how heavyweight the required runtime is, which seemed ridiculous to me, since Futures are so simple conceptually. I have to look into this again.
In general, Rust's big binaries are one of the things that puts me off the most. Even dynamic linking often doesn't help much. Then again, if a few MB, which is a rounding error nowadays, is among the worst I can think of, that's actually pretty amazing ;).
