Yeah, it also makes it seem like Rust is weird for using Future as the type name, but actually JavaScript (Promise) is the odd one out here. Probably a JS dev learning Rust without much exposure to other languages

I think it's also good that we did not name it Promise because there are a lot of differences in implementation that really matter, and so if Rust had gone with the same name, some people might be confused about some things.
