    I skimmed the latter parts of this post since I felt like I read it all before, but I think moro is new to me. I was intrigued to find out how scoped span exactly behaves.

    async fn slp() {
        tokio::time::sleep(std::time::Duration::from_millis(1)).await
    }
    
    async fn _main() {
        let value = 22;
        let result_fut = moro::async_scope!(|scope| {
            dbg!(); // line 8
            let future1 = scope.spawn(async {
                slp().await;
                dbg!(); // line 11
                let future2 = scope.spawn(async {
                    slp().await;
                    dbg!(); // line 14
                    value // access stack values that outlive scope
                });
                slp().await;
                dbg!(); // line 18
    
                let v = future2.await * 2;
                v
            });
    
            slp().await;
            dbg!(); // line 25
            let v = future1.await * 2;
            slp().await;
            dbg!(); // line 28
            v
        });
        slp().await;
        dbg!(); // line 32
        let result = result_fut.await;
        eprintln!("{result}"); // prints 88
    }
    
    fn main() {
        // same output with `new_current_thread()` of course
        let rt = tokio::runtime::Builder::new_multi_thread()
            .enable_all()
            .build()
            .unwrap();
        rt.block_on(_main())
    }
    

    This prints:

    [src/main.rs:32:5]
    [src/main.rs:8:9]
    [src/main.rs:25:9]
    [src/main.rs:11:13]
    [src/main.rs:18:13]
    [src/main.rs:14:17]
    [src/main.rs:28:9]
    88
    

    So scoped spawn doesn’t really spawn tasks as one might mistakenly think!

      I think I would put the emphasis slightly differently: I don’t feel the confusion is around the word “spawn”, but it spawns futures rather than tasks. For tasks you might indeed expect them to be picked up in the background (which is what work-stealing does), but futures only execute when polled.
