 @predrag @jyn let's say you're traversing a Merkle linked list (in this case a chain of source control commits) to fold over them recursively -- if you just create a child future with the recursive call then await it, your task stack will grow in an unbounded fashion. If you spawn a new task for each node instead, this isn't an issue @predrag @jyn Good question! This is best modeled by a oneshot channel: https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/sync/oneshot/index.html |
@rain @jyn I figured it was something like that, but I haven't used nearly enough async Rust yet to be able to construct the precise counterexample in my head.
Thanks!
