[$] Existential types in Rust

Date:
Wed, 24 Apr 2024 12:49:16 +0000

Description:
For several years, contributors to the Rust project have
been working to improve support for asynchronous
code. The benefits of these efforts are not confined to asynchronous code,
however. Members of the Rust community have been working toward adding 
explicit existential types to Rust since 2017. Existential types are not a 
common feature
of programming languages (something the RFC acknowledges), so the motivation 
for their inclusion might be somewhat
obscure.
