Combine `argdown` with something similar to `roam research` and you have the makings of a 21st century platform for knowledge production.
When we have conversations in person, there is a natural Clarify -> Challenge -> Refine loop that hopefully ends in some resolution. One of the major issues with long run, asynchronous, online platforms is that they don't enable newcomers to easily contribute novel thoughts to that cycle. As an outsider viewing discussion around async rust that occurred on here and on reddit, by far the most common reply was "not a new thought- already discussed HERE".
But as OP pointed out, those HERE links were hundreds of posts you'd have to read through and reconstruct the clarify -> challenge loop in your head before figuring out whether your question had been addressed.
