IC Cron - let's schedule some tasks bois

Thanks for the response.

There are three main goals of this library:

  1. As you said, it abstracts away the implementation, so devs could just think of it as of “task scheduler” and focus on their business logic entirely.
  2. Developers can use this new feature early, not relying on any estimates from the IC-team. Yes, it would be great, if one day we’ll have out-of-the box support for such functionality, but right now there is none.
  3. I need this functionality for some of my other projects.

About the code, you’ve mentioned. Hm… Thanks a lot!
But now I’m confused. I asked this question specifically UDP-like flow for inter-canister calls and the answer seemed to me like “use block_on when you want to send a request, but don’t care for a response - the system will handle it automatically”.
UPD: since I don’t care about the response (I don’t need the continuation of this promise) and I tell the system exactly that, there should be no stored context and no stack overflow.

It would be very cool to have some in-depth docs on this APIs.
