WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
Not just yet, the two big blockers on async methods are:
1. The ability to use generics in associated types
2. The ability to use `impl Trait` in associated types
GATs provide the first, but the latter is still being worked on. The good news is that the implementation has matured greatly this year and appears to be in a state where stabilization could be considered. AFAICT this `impl Trait` work is being done in the broader context of async methods, tracked here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/91611
As a Rust team member, I have no earthly clue. Maybe it's the Core team? Or the blog author? Or the release team? Also no clue whatsoever as to the process for determining which cause to promote or even which causes are not allowed to be promoted (if any?).
The blog is on github, and this is the commit that added it: https://github.com/rust-lang/blog.rust-lang.org/pull/1043/co...
What is the "leadership chat"? See: https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2022/10/06/governance...
(I had thought the "leadership chat" was supposed to be a temporary group working to resolve a governance problem precipitated by the mod team resignation last year (of which I was a member), but it appears to be a decision making body at this point.)
