Description
[09:05] <daira1> meejah: we don't use inlineCallbacks in Tahoe mainly due to inertia -- the vast majority of the codebase was written without them... [09:07] <daira1> I had some minor technical reservations about them (and about mixing the two styles) but I should probably reconsider whether those are really justified [09:09] <daira1> currently our only use of them is in the tests for some of the cloud backend service providers (on a dev branch) that Leif wrote [09:10] <daira1> I think there's no objection to using them more generally in tests
For this ticket, understand pros and cons of using @inlineCallbacks and add a section to the CodingStandards with guidelines for their use. (This might be very short if no guidelines are needed!)
