@at_tcsc @Lucretiel seconded!

@Lucretiel You should file an RFC for this (maybe too big a change for an ACP, although you could start there to start smaller scale if you wanted)

Wait is it really that simple? We didn't need GATs at all for a slightly better borrow, we just needed to reverse the trait order?

Have just released dynosaur v0.1.2, dynosaur is a Rust crate that lets you use dynamic dispatch on traits with async fn and methods returning impl Trait. Try it out and report errors and give us feedback. github.com/spastorino/dyn… crates.io/crates/dynosaur

@nomanautomata and that's why I live in dogpatch

@sashachapin @heynibras @ToBeIsToBreathe Were jhanas an important part for you? Do you have any sense of what % go through them on the way to 1st and 2nd path? I've been motivated to experience that for awhile but felt pretty stuck. Yet insight practices tend to be weird and fun for me

@hdevalence I think there's a still reason you can't use regular captures though. Someone in the scope can create another async context, borrow from that in a sub scope, and forget it. So you have to do some serious contortions to make that impossible

@hdevalence This is roughly what I had in mind when I talked about restricting borrowing! I think I even tried something like it and ran into issues with HRTBs in the compiler awhile back, but some of those are fixed now. It's possible it's more ergonomic than I thought

excited to see @tmandry’s post on scoped tasks. i’m sure i’m missing something, though, because i don’t understand what the difficulty is. since the runtime takes ownership of spawned tasks anyways, why can’t it have their children refcount them? tmandry.gitlab.io/blog/posts/202…

@Louis_CAD Kotlin uses garbage collection, Swift uses reference counting. If you want to use reference counting, you can get structured concurrency with one of the "relaxing borrowing" crates

@tmandry Why is it so complicated to have cancellation and structured concurrency in Rust when its usage is so simple in Kotlin, or even in Swift?

I think what did it for me today was building muscles of attention+mindfulness with meditation (cf John Yates, Rob Burbea) and relating to time in a non-instrumental way (Oliver Burkeman)

(In fact the context only matters for my narrative self, which has driven way too much of my behavior while generally making me miserable)

Just realized I spent most of today on something I've desperately wanted to do for years. I sat down and gathered my thoughts on some undecided (decently complex) topics, then communicated them. That's it.

well maybe a little bit the word

Not the word, which I know, just the fact that this entry in the dictionary exists

thanks I hate it

@hdevalence I think it is broken

@hdevalence ..is it broken?
