I think an analogy between rust's async and Haskell's laziness is a much better one. Yes, bouncing around between bits of code due to thunk forcing could look a lot like async code.

Whereas Haskell's normal I/O lightweight threading/concurrency code is really all about threads (schedulers, sync primitives, pre-emption etc) and is not related to Haskell's laziness at all.
