# Description In order for `Stack::unwrap_unique` to work as intended, we currently manually track all references to the parent stack and ensure that they are cleared before calling `Stack::unwrap_unique` in the REPL. We also only call `Stack::unwrap_unique` after all code from the current REPL entry has finished executing. Since `Value`s cannot store `Stack` references, then this should have worked in theory. However, we forgot to account for threads. `run-external` (and maybe the plugin writers) can spawn threads that clone the `Stack`, holding on to references of the parent stack. These threads are not waited/joined upon, and so may finish after the eval has already returned. This PR removes the `Stack::unwrap_unique` function and associated debug assert that was [causing panics](https://gist.github.com/cablehead/f3d2608a1629e607c2d75290829354f7) like @cablehead found. # After Submitting Make values cheaper to clone as a more robust solution to the performance issues with cloning the stack. --------- Co-authored-by: Wind <WindSoilder@outlook.com>
Nushell core libraries and plugins
These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.
Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:
- Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
- Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.
Plugins are likewise also split into two types:
- Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
- Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of different capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
