Both actix and reqwest are already async, the fact that you haven't noticed yet just shows that you are already ignoring it.

But the signatures are not. If them mark the types/functions async, what happened?

I must rewrite all the calls?

Async is just a syntactic sugar for Future<...>, you can poll() it manually.

You can take the event loop, run it on one thread and do whatever you wish on other threads.

Fearless concurrency, after all.

you can just `.await` on any Future returned directly by APIs, if it's not marked as an async fn.
