1) That's no longer "running async code in Drop" as it's spawned/detached and semantically/can run outside the Drop. This distinction is important for something like `select` which assumes all cancellation finishes in Drop. 2) This doesn't address the efficiency concern of using borrowed memory in the Future. You have to either reference count or own the memory used by the Future for the "spawn in Drop" scheme to work for cleanup. 3) Even if you define an explicit/custom async destructor, Rust doesn't have a way to syntactically defer its execution like Go and Zig do so you'd end up having to call it on all exit points which is error prone like C (would result in a panic instead of a leak/UB, but that can be equally undesirable). 4) Is there anywhere one can read up on the work being done for async Drop in Rust? Was only able to find this official link but it seems to still have some unanswered questions (https://rust-lang.github.io/async-fundamentals-initiative/ro...)

Now you lose determinism in tear down though.
