Great new! Since 2016 or so it became apparent that immovable types were a crucial missing part of Rust, but for a long time it was believed it wouldn't be possible to add them without breaking everything, which is why we ended up with the Pin hack.

I'm very glad they found a way to add it eventually, as it's really filling a glaring hole in the language.

Will this integrate with existing code that uses Pin<T>? If not this will split the ecosystem even further...
