I feel like there would be a HUGE amount of ecosystem value for Rust and async/await, if there was funding and the right dev(s) available to focus on improving: * Memory usage + copies of futures/async fns: particularly wrt overlapping data across yield * Improving codegen size/perf * opt-footguns

don't be there. if you are there, don't be seen. if you are seen, don't be penetrated. if you're penetrated, try not to moan, weird.

> It’s kind of surprising that google or meta or someone hasn’t just “forked” C++. someone did. that someone is mozilla. i think too many people just believe a fork is a rolling patchset rather than an actual departure and independent journey

This is a banger of a response, and honestly while I'm still very happy to have projects like Google's Project Zero, it does make me wonder if every bug report shouldn't come with either a dedicated engineer to FIX the OSS project, or a $ for a maintainer to fix it. gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml...
