This.

We need more community/company interaction in Rust, especially in the networking space, instead of parallel implementations.

Disagree. This happened with tokio, the most used crate that provides an execution runtime for futures for async programming, and it's fucking awful to use. But, the community rallied behind it and is now stuck with it for better or for worse. There's been barely any effort to provide any documentation, even recently the main developer pawned it off to be crowdsourced and it really shows.

So yea, give me choices.

I used to think that as well, but sometimes different projects have different priorities or philosophies. In that case, you can either be the jerk who complains about free open source code you didn't pay for, try to bend the project to your will and probably fail, or roll your own.
