Personally, i love the formal RFC for it's low level accessibility and this
new RFC isn't that bad.
The
spawn keyword maybe the right keyword to use but it seems more weird,
can we find another keyword to use other than that? Most languages i've
seen make use of only the async/await keyword.
Finally, is there any chance we might revise the formal RFC implementation?..
Nice work though :)
