Async/Await support for Off-chain Workers #5212

Open tomusdrw opened 4 years ago

tomusdrw commented 4 years ago

Offchain workshop follow up task.

We have identified that it would be possible to introduce Futures and kernel-like epoll mechanism to offchain workers to later on facilitate async/await kind of workflows.

Currently the main use case is http calls, but in the future this could enable other tasks that can be executed in parallel (like networking or workers (#1459), etc).

I'd like to start hacking on it, beginning with our WIP implementation done thus far
