async-std has been discontinued; use smol instead (direct replacement) #356
Description
pulsar-rs depends on async-std : https://github.com/async-rs/async-std
The source code repository of async-std mentions:
async-std has been discontinued; use smol instead
We created async-std to demonstrate the value of making a library as close to std as possible, but async. We think that demonstration was successful, and we hope it will influence future design and development directions of async in std. However, in the meantime, the smol project came about and provided a great executor and libraries for asynchronous use in the Rust ecosystem. We think that resources would be better spent consolidating around smol, rather than continuing to provide occasional maintenance of async-std. As such, we recommend that all users of async-std, and all libraries built on async-std, switch to smol instead.
In addition to the smol project as a direct replacement, you may find other parts of the futures ecosystem useful, including futures-concurrency, async-io, futures-lite, and async-compat.
