If someone tries to do the following
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>the error message is not helpful (though it is technically correct).I think that it should point to the
asynckeyword and say that standard rust does not supportasyncmain.This issue has been assigned to @Nokel81 via this comment.
