   Coroutines (unlike async/await) would allow one to wait on an async result without losing the stack which is waiting. This would avoid the need for (often) inscrutable callback state machines (Javascript's version of GOTOS).

   It looks like it would be (as with Mastodon) more accurate to call this federated instead of decentralized.

    Unless income is randomly assigned, how do we draw any causal conclusions? For example, what if being predisposed to certain kinds of anxiety tend to cause one to both make more money in order to have more security, and never be satisfied w

    Notifications are appropriate when you have multiple listeners which is so common that (fwiw) I'd like to see delegates replaced with some more elegant form of notifications that can also carry trace info for debugging.
