Productize Task/ValueTask/Async.ignore #128
Description
Activity
/cc @dsyme, we should discuss this. Some of this effort may ultimately land back into F# Core, but agreeing on a
TaskExlibrary (name tbd) and adding it to theFsProjectsrealm may be a good idea.This is related to #78, specifically #78 (comment).
Reacted by Ruben BartelinkYeah I have a lot of the same functions floating around in IcedTasks (example1, example2) and FsToolkit (example1, example2)
I even have a tool that writes out all the functions (like map, bind, apply, zip, etc) and which libraries contain them because it's hard to know who implementing what these days and where the gaps are in functionality.
Reacted by Abel BraaksmaSwitching close reason; work is not completed; sorry!
Reacted by Abel BraaksmaThanks for writing out these covering issues! Much appreciated!

I've long felt icky about using
Async.Ignore. Seeing theAsync.ignorethat's presently hiding in plain sight here makes me realise the absence of aTask.ignoreandValueTask.ignorefrom FSharp.Core is something I've also been grinning and bearing (sprinkling:> Taskand all sorts of other such mindless hacks).Utils.fspresently has helpers that feel very tempting to use more broadly. However, binding to a set of support helpers on the fringe of this library's core feature set is obviously debatable.(The other pair from here that I feel deserves a canonical implementation in a library that doesn't include a jungle of other less-related helpers is
Async.ofTask/Task.toAsync, but with correctedAggregateExceptionsemantics, and honoring ofAsync.Cancellationwhen compared toAsync.AwaitTaskas perFSharp.Core. Will likely calve off a separate issue from this if placeholderFSharp.Core.TaskShimspackage/repo is deemed to be the best home for a set ofignorehelpers)related:
