Go, unlike Rust, does not really have a notion of intra-task concurrency; goroutines are the fundamental unit of concurrency and parallelism. So, the Go runtime can reason about dependencies between goroutines quite easily, since goroutines are the things which it is responsible for scheduling. The fact that channels are a language construct, rather than a library construct implemented in the language, is necessary for this too. In (async) Rust, on the other hand, tasks are the fundamental unit of parallelism, but not of concurrency; concurrency emerges from the composition of `Future`s, and a single task is a state machine which may execute any number of futures concurrently (but not in parallel), by polling them until they cannot proceed without waiting and then moving on to poll another future until it cannot proceed without waiting. But critically, this is not what the task scheduler sees; it interacts with these tasks as a single top-level `Future`, and is not able to look inside at the nested futures they are composed of.

This specific failure mode can actually only happen when multiple futures are polled concurrently but not in parallel within a single Tokio task. So, there is actually no way for the Tokio scheduler to have insight into this problem. You could imagine a deadlock detector in the Tokio runtime that operates on the task level, but it actually could never detect this problem, because when these operations execute in parallel, it actually cannot occur. In fact, one of the suggestions for how to avoid this issue is to select over spawned tasks rather than futures within the same task.
