This is, actually, the erlang/elixir concurrency model, (with a lot of tooling behind for doing it well).

Isn’t erlang a very different, almost opposite concurrency model? I’m not an erlang expert but async message passing is a very different style. The limitation around background tasks in structured concurrency is trivial in erlang for example

Yes, but proceses are supervised (in a tree structure). So you have the same warranties described in structured concurrency

Yeah this seems compelling, especially the economics of it when paying for machine time.
