I read your email, but it's very hard to follow your verbal conjectures
that this here or that there will fail catastrophically.

I suggest you make a bug report for each bug, describe a recipe for
reproducing the bug.  Likewise, if there are shortcomings in the design,
state clearly what you wanted do, but can't.  I promise to attend to
them, time permitting.

It's important to disconnect these reports from your fondness for
futures, which is a technique for which we don't have a library or
consensus for.  That in particular makes your otherwise extremely
valuable feedback very hard to follow.  Let's take Stefan's advice on
the futures front, is my recommendation.

Also, I agree with Stefan that things have become tense and agressive,
and no good progress can be made in these conditions.

Best,
João
