It had just two: libgreen backed tasks with "green threads", libnative backed them with OS threads.

Does that mean every task will be an OS thread? Or are tasks handled by a runtime specific scheduler and will use a pool of threads for IO?

By default, yes.

Hmmmm, I hope there are other alternatives in the future (besides libuv). It would be nice to see Rust have a lightweight unit of execution similar to goroutines or Erlang processes.
