Also try it live on embed.motoko.org

If you have any use cases for shareable generics then please post them below.

I have found at least these links where the question was raised, ordered by date:

If you know other link then please post them as well. I would be interested if the workaround is good enough for those use cases or not.

Very cool. I’m wondering if there are some other motoko gotchas that this could apply to.
