The TL;DR is that it traces back to the same reason Amos of fasterthanlime called it very hostile to FFI and it took so long to get such limited representation on lists like Rust Interop and Are We Extending Yet?. Stackful coroutines don't play nice with FFI and, in the two or three years before v1.0, Rust rushed to reorient itself and ripped out things like its green threading runtime and make it less Go-like and more suitable as a replacement for C or C++.

  A fast, middleware based, web framework written in Rust

  

Maybe, or maybe not, interestingly, I had to store async functions that call other arbitrary async functions for thruster. I tried many of the things posed in the article, and eventually ended up doing something similar to how bevy works -- that is, I made a bunch of tuples.

  5 0 4.2 Rust

I feel like this isn't just a case of people intentionally trying to ignore Rust's idioms, but just not knowing how to transfer over their existing knowledge. As someone who's learned over 15 programming languages throughout the years (rookie numbers, I know ;) it was relatively easy for me to learn Rust in about 2 weeks by diving straight into Ray Tracing in One Weekend (my implementation here), but I still feel like not many people could have done that, so I tend to hold off on assuming that they're intentionally trying to misuse Rust.
