Goal document	2024h2/async.html

Summary

Over the next six months, we will deliver several critical async Rust building block features

• resolve the "Send bound" problem, which blocks the widespread usage of async functions in traits;
• reorganize the async WG, so that we can be better aligned and move more swiftly from here out;
• stabilize async closures, allowing for a much wider variety of async related APIs (async closures are implemented on nightly).

Tasks and status

• [ ] Overall program management (tmandry, nikomatsakis)
• [ ] "Send bound" problem (nikomatsakis)
  • [x] Implementation (compiler-errors)
  • [x] Author RFC (nikomatsakis)
  • [ ] RFC decision
  • [ ] Stabilization decision
• [ ] Async WG reorganization (nikomatsakis)
