Async Rust is powerful. And it can be a pain to work with (and learn). Async Rust can be a pleasure to work with, though, if we can do it without `Send + Sync + 'static`.
I’m not sure what tokio (or axum) can do to avoid the trait bounds. Would it makes sense to provide a “share nothing” runtime implementation that can be injected at startup? I wonder how the intermediate layers (e.g. axum) would indicate that futures are usable by a more generic runtime which may or may not need Send + 'static.
Without some way to write generic code for either runtime, the whole tokio ecosystem would end up bifurcated by this choice of runtime.

Isn’t this
tokio::task::spawn_local?
