Zig's async, like Lua's, lets people write libraries that are generic over async-ness by default. "dump my registers and jump to another stack" is also a legitimate move in assembly (though that's not how this implementation actually works).
- formerly_proven 3y agoI understand the technical reasons (caused by cultural reasons) why Python ended up with colored async but man oh man was it a bad choice for a high-overhead language to do that…
- DaiPlusPlus 3y ago(you’re referring to this article [1], right?) What alternative approach would you have preferred Python do? While I’m not a fan of the coloured-function approach either, I can’t think of a better alternative that checks-off the most boxes (Java’s Loom looks interesting but in-a-way it seems too-good-to-be-true to me, while low-cost approaches like Zig’s would introduce too much complexity for novice users and people wanting something that just-works) [1]: https://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2015/02/01/what-color-is-your-function/ https://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2015/02/01/what-color-is-...
