Hi,
over the last few weeks few ideas
have been brooding in the back of my head,
in particular after seeing how rust creates its stacks and handles io.
The basis is allocating all stacks as non-movable structures on the heap.
This would remove the need to copy the c/rpython level stack for
continulets and enable to move them between native threads
which is essentially enabling a M:N threading scheme.
On top of that i would like to introduce transformation similar to the
sandbox that would defer all IO to a io loop in a separate thread.
Additionally it should change the threading abstractions to use said
continuation instead of os level threads
the result in case of a success would be a python that defers all
blocking operations to a io loop in a separate thread
im currently investigating libuv, since it does well for async io and
also has utilities to defer blocking calls to c code to a pool of native
threads
