๐จ๏ธ How should MoonBit handle effect polymorphism (allow one single higher order function to work over callback with/without error or async)?
1.ย Errorย +ย Async
2.ย Errorย only
3.ย Noย polymorphism, dup code
4.ย Hybrid/Otherย solution

"While it is less expressive and simple than Scala and therefore not a replacement, Moonbit could compete against Rust in many ways. This gives Moonbit strong potential for commercial success in certain areas."
