> For now the best option to write code that wants to live in both worlds is sans-io
Thanks for sharing!
Reading the articles, it looks at me, it is a kind of manual reimplementation of the state machine generated by async? This also makes the code harder to reason with. I am unsure if it is worth the complexity.
One of the issue I face is a blocking function that takes a generic constrained by a `trait` and its async version takes a generic constrained by an `async trait`.
I recently started working with Rust async. The main issue I am currently facing is code duplication: I have to duplicate every function that I want to support both asynchronous and blocking APIs. This could be great to have a `maybe-async`. I took a look at the available crates to work around this (maybe-async, bisync), but they all have issues or hard limitations.

I tried Helix two years ago, unfortunately the default keymap was a bit frustrating to me. I don't mind changing my habits, however I had difficulty I made sense of the keymap design.
For example, typing `w` select the word. However, typing `2w` select the second word and not two words. To select two words you have to enter in visual mode (`v2w`). To remove two words you thus need to type `v2wd` or `wdwd`. In Vim you can type `d2w`. I miss this composability.
In Kakoune (one of the main inspiration of Helix), you can type `2Wd` (`2wd` has the same behavior as Helix).
I was also hoping that the use of Ctrl/Alt modifiers be completely removed. Why not fully embrace modal editing?
If I remember correctly, TCO is now part of the ECMAScript standard. Safari has implemented it. The issue is that others engines have not because they are concerned about stack unwinding and stacktraces.
I was quite excited by the description and then I noted that Bolt heavily relies on double floating point numbers. I am quite disappointed because this doesn't allow me to use Bolt in my context: embedded systems where floating point numbers are rarely supported... So I realized that I misinterpreted `embedded`.
I am currently working on an embedded system with 264Kb of RAM and 4Mb of flash. Do you think Lua could be used in such limited settings? I am also considering the berry scripting language [0].
