Congratulations on releasing 1.0. This will be a huge milestone in making async programming very approachable to newer Rust devs and a solid base to build upon. There's a lot to like about async-std: It keeps things as similar as possible to std, and the general focus on a well-designed public API, relies on small and shared abstractions for library authors (through futures-rs), good documentation from the start, and a very encouraging community attitude. Keep it going :-)
