Description
Within the F# ecosystem, there are a number of commonly used augmentations that typically get maintained as internal helpers within libraries and applications, manually copied around in various ways. Examples of such helpers:
- TaskEx: ignore #140
Async.ignore/Task.ignore/ValueTask.ignore - TaskEx: AwaitTaskCorrect / Task.toAsync / Async.ofTask #141
- TaskEx: Async.startImmediateAsTask #142
- TaskEx: parallelLimit #143
While it can be argued that many of these concerns should be addressed in FSharp.Core, these are being logged here first in an attempt to narrow down the number of suggestions, with a view to getting stable naming (and potentially a shims library of some kind as a stopgap). NOTE that building a one stop shop for lots of arbitrary helpers is a non-goal of this effort.
NOTES:
- naming discussion regarding Immediate/Background/Synchronously. The proposed APIs should adhere strongly to the conventions of
FSharp.Core
