| 06:50 | <Bakkot> | rbuckton: why do ecmarkup and grammarkdown pass around cancel tokens? the only async things I can see that they'd be doing are file IO. |
| 06:52 | <ljharb> | i was confused by that too, why is cancellation needed |
| 06:56 | <Bakkot> | I am going to maybe rip support for it out of them out of ecmarkup |
| 06:59 | <Bakkot> | no one is using it, that I can see, and if you want things to be cancelable it's pretty trivial to accomplish that by passing in a `fetch` function which throws when cancelled or when called after it has been cancelled |
| 06:59 | <Bakkot> | (where by "throws" I mean in the first place "causes the promise it has already returned to reject" and in the second place "returns a rejected promise", obviously, no zalgo here) |
