Proebsting

@dsymetweets Yup, guilty as charged. It was great to work together, and I'm confident that I would never have succeeded with the C# compiler hacks without your help! Thanks again. (It was fall of 2000---I recall because I got to enjoy the British reaction to the Bush v. Gore debacle.)

An anecdote: Todd Proebsting sent me a message saying roughly "I hear you're adding generics to C#. I don't give a damn about generics but can you teach us how to hack the compiler?" (then in C++), then visited in Cambridge. We had a great summer together, I think 2000 or 2001.

Around 2011, the F# 2.0 notion of an async modality flowed into C# 5.0, integrated with state machine compilation from Axum, TPL tasks and other influences. Likewise, F# extended computation expressions to include queries and prototyped async sequences

@JimRose69872629 Some might nominate scsh.net/docu/html/man.… as the best Acknowledgment ever.
