It looks like there's good movement on the proposal to bring pollster[1] or similar into the Rust standard library.

I think that's awesome. They've been afraid to "bless" an executor for good reasons, but pollster has 0 chance of "winning" even if blessed since it lacks so many features. However it's a solution to the problem you expressed: I/O crates can be async and used with pollster in sync contexts.

I haven't been following, would you have a link to this proposal ? A quick search of pollster in rust-lang/rust and rust-lang/rfcs does not bring any interesting result.

Good question. I might have been projecting my hopes to make it sound more formal, but the only thing I could find following my cookie crumbs was the mention in https://without.boats/blog/why-async-rust/
