wg-async charter

Goals

This working group is focused around implementation/design of the β€œfoundations” for Async I/O. This means that we are focused on designing and implementing extensions to the language, standard library, and other "core" bits of support offered by the Rust organization.

Constraints And Considerations

We do not directly work on external projects like tokio, async-std, smol, embassy and so forth, although we definitely discuss ideas and coordinate with them where appropriate.
