Spawning a child thread means you don't care about if it will ever finish. The main loop may finish before it receives something from the child process unless it's instructed to wait for it and the child process will just die.

Edmond, async stuff is like having another thread. So &quo= t;spawn" fits but also "throw" in terms of what it does. At = least what it actually does (at least what it=C2=A0must) at a low level.=C2= =A0

>=C2=A0 The `spawn` keywor= d maybe the right keyword to use but it seems more weird, can we find anoth= er keyword to use other than that?

Spawning a child thre= ad means you don't care about if it=C2=A0will ever finish. The main loo= p may finish before it receives=C2=A0something from the child process unles= s it's instructed to wait for it and the child process will just die. F= or me the "spawn" fits<= /div>

If you mean classes like SocketHandle and so on, then the low-level API can be available as = a separate extension.=C2=A0=C2=A0

Yes, spawn has the downside of being more associated wit= h threads. Here are some other possible options:

  • launch =E2=80=94 like in Kotlin
  • go =E2=80=94 the shortest option

async is not the best choice because it looks more like an = attribute, while we would prefer to use a verb.

From a brevity standp= oint, I like go, but after that, Go developers will have to im= plement the $ symbol for all variables :)
