It's an elegant hack, but it's still a hack. Not what we should be doing in 2026.

I would prefer to continue to use elegant interfaces even beyond 2026.

I would prefer to use elegant interfaces that aren't massive hacks.

[uecker]

I don't think it is hack. I think it is a nice and clean API and the hate is largely irrational. I think one could improve usability for multi-threaded programs though.
