fyi: i have a branch that enables usage of

tokio-compat

, from some afterhours funtime porting. it will be required to port the first modules that use

tokio 0.2

outside of a test (the

fs

or

task_executor

crates i think...?): https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/compare/master...twitter:stuhood/tokio-compat ... if anyone beats me to porting more modules, feel free to pick it up

what is the utility of this porting effort? do we get to use async/await? or is this just a replacement of the executor?

https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/pull/9018 explains it

thanks!

there is a draft that mostly works. tests aren't ported yet. https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/pull/9071

Very cool!! I didn’t know

#[async_trait]

was a thing!!
