    [$] 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.
