The socket API uses guard types when setting deadlines, and when the guard is dropped the deadline is cleared. The idea behind this is to prevent lingering deadlines. In practise...

During the work on https://gitlab.com/inko-lang/inko/-/merge_requests/120, Inko briefly supported closures that could be called at most once, using the syntax `fn once { ... }`. This was later removed as I...

### Description Expressions such as `x.y := z` should be allowed, provided that `y` is a field and not a method. Currently this is only possible using the syntax `@y...

Support for TLS sockets

Inko's sockets are just regular sockets, without any built-in support for TLS (as in SSL/TLS, not thread-local storage). Combine that with the lack of built-in support for various ciphers/cryptographic functions,...

Consider restoring our old network poller code while using IO completion ports on Windows

Fix building on Alpine Linux and musl
