Stop chasing async chaos! ⏱️
An Awaitable class wraps your asynchronous tasks, letting methods pause and auto-resume right when they finish. No mess, just clean code.

C++: so now we have concepts and coroutines!
Me: okay cool, so concepts are like Rust traits, so what's the concept for awaitables, so I can see the exact interface I need to implement?

Getting my head around cancellation tokens and awaitables in Unity at the moment. In that great Dunning Kruger moment where I have it working, but I don’t fully understand what’s I’ve made haha.

ME: I should learn how to use asyncio
CHORUS: woe, woe, woe to him / he will not learn it well // he'll misapply some patterns / and say "at least I've grown"
ME: no I'm going to do it right this time
CHORUS: he's calling the awaitables synchronously / it's a common mistake and he commonly makes it

UniTask is absolutely genius, so optimized and usable with basically no downsides. Never caused any issues for us in the polish phase, while many other plugins and Unity packages definitely have. Awaitables has a looong way to go to beat it.

I like the new awaitables a lot, but i have ran into some minor issues with them

to get it working with uring but without needing to couple uring to the coroutine library, I'll need to pair an atomic counter to the specific task awaitables that decrements on completion and then triggers resume on zero.
useful metaphor: a foot race that must finish before the next one can start.

Today's challenge: making sufficiently simple diagrams of situations that are complicated enough to illustrate the point of cooperative multitasking.
I just finished the diagrams for serialized and thread-per-request, now I have to figure out how to draw awaitables :|

Some of the primitives are just very unintuitive, particularly for simple tasks like waiting on two different awaitables and picking the first to finish.
Many of the types also don't quite make sense, I was able to implement AsyncIterator with just a loop and a yield which doesn't make sense to me.

I'm reading about asynchronous programming in python, and now I want to start a band called Godot and the Awaitables.

In case you missed it, .NET is getting a Task.WaitAsync API: https://t.co/QgAyh5yq8c
Before:
await Task.WhenAny(task, Task.Delay(timeout, token))
After:
await task.WaitAsync(timeout, token)
Nice addition, though I'm still not fan of exception-based cancellation
