I learnt two things today about #rust and #tokio :

- `spawn_blocking` never gets cancelled, it will continue to run and finish your closure, even if the task waiting for the result is cancelled/dropped

- a `JoinHandle` will silently drop values without letting you know about them if that handle is dropped. Especially if the async task calling that method is cancelled/dropped

I discovered this by creating a wrapper which impl'd drop and printed out a log when the value was dropped

Hey rustaceans, I need to plug my #axum server which uses the tracing crate for logs to our elasticsearch logging service, which uses ESC I believe?
It seems there's no off the shelf tracing_layer to talk to elasticsearch , and trying to write my own I'm running in the issue of needing to use an async method to send the message from a sync context (on_event() of tracing::Layer). Anything I've missed to make my live easier? #rustlang #tokio #elasticsearch
