Question: What is the difference between using `#![apply(smol_macros::main!)]` and `ex.spawn` as shown in the example, and using `async_global_executor::block_on(async { })` and `async_global_executor::spawn`?

Which approach is more recommended?

Both do roughly the same thing. You really should use your own executor for production programs, however. smol_macros::main! is my personal preference.
