I would love to see the same thing, I always told people around me that Erlang/OTP is more akin to an OS than a traditional programming language. That being said, the key feature to enable what Erlang supports is asynchronous termination, which as far as I know is not possible in regular Rust.
- oconnor663 5y agoI think the current options for killing a generic task in Rust are either 1) make it an async task, which can be cancelled as long as it doesn't accidentally block a thread, or 2) make it a separate process, and have the OS kill it. Do either of those fit this use case?
