Building on FUSE in Rust tends to involve a lot of boilerplate. libfuse-fs is an attempt to change that - trait-based abstractions, async I/O, overlay and passthrough support out of the box.

At Oxidize 2026, Ruiji Yu (Nanjing University) covers the design and lessons from real integrations: monorepo access and container image building.

@walterjizz IMO, message passing concurrency is way more flexible in the long run, so I'd go with that.

@PuercoPop Newer versions of tokio now come with a LocalRuntime, which allows spawning of !Send + !Sync Futures (unfortunately, they still need to be 'static, though😐):
https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/runtime/struct.LocalRuntime.html#method.spawn_local

I'm probably biased, but I really like smol, because it is very flexible, e.g. your Futures don't even need to be 'static:

Fuzzing finds bugs in Rust code - reliably so. But async Rust has largely stayed out of reach with its complexity making it hard for fuzzers to explore meaningfully.

At Oxidize 2026, Morgan Hill (@pcwizz) walks through what it takes to actually fuzz async Rust: the naive approaches that don't work, and an involved technique that does - involving LibAFL, user mode QEMU, and a fair amount of head scratching.

The promise of Async Rust often clashes with its current reality. This article argues that despite its potential, Async Rust remains in an MVP state, creating a 'two-tiered ecosystem' for developers. It highlights how Tokio's monoculture and the `Send + 'static` trap introduce significant complexity and overhead, often making traditional threading a more ergonomic and performant choice for common…

Tokio!

It's 'static + multithreaded-by-default requirement has created the myth that async #Rust is inherently difficult.

People should use `smol` more - here's why:

The Evolution of Async Rust: From Tokio to High-Level Applications | The RustRover Blog

Tokio has become the de facto asynchronous runtime for high-performance networking in Rust, powering everything from backend services to databases. During the discussion, they explored how async Rust matured over the years, the architectural decisions behind Tokio, common challenges developers face today, and where the ecosystem is heading next.
