  • I went way down the rabbit hole on this one and ended up with a proof of concept that's probably close enough to be able to wire it up: https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/3745244

    I guess it didn't end up too much code, but I'm not entirely sure it's worth it.

    (it's after 3 AM? oh no what have I done)

  • Yeah, "async is a niche requirement" has long seemed weird to me. Most programs with any degree of interactivity quickly come to a point where they want more than one thing to be happening at once, and they spend some time waiting on external inputs -- whether those are network packets or USB events or timers.

    Purely synchronous code only suffices for that narrow and most boring category of programs that know all their inputs up-front and don't accept any other inputs or interactions at all.
