Started fixing the Body implementation based on jdm’s feedback
Filed issue #13465 related to allowing trait object in promise.rs.
Filed issue #13464 about rethrowing exceptions instead of clearing pending JS exceptions in Body’s Json() method.
The error we were getting was due to having an error in the webidl! We should have used Promise<any> instead of Promise<JSON>.
Looked into form data crate for parsing Form Data. formdata::read_formdata requires a reader, and I’m not entirely sure how we can use this parser without stream or HttpReader.

We had lunch with Coach Stefan! We started thinking about what to do after this Friday when the summer of code is over…
We finished writing our end-of-summer blog post.
We went over the fetch method code to understand it better.
Trait object in Rust. Trait objects are the difference between fn foo(object: &Trait) (this is trait object) and fn foo<T: Trait>(object: &T). The former will result in the compiler generating less code, so the compile time will be faster. However, this puts a little more strain during run time, because it will have to check whether the parameter object implements the &Trait. The latter generates more code during compilation because it will create unique functions for each type that implements Trait. This saves time during run time because the functions for each type is already defined. As Josh said “classic tradeoff between time and space!”
