Are there plans to implement abortable fetch – i.e. AbortControllers?

We should support it.

It is part of the Living Standard and fully implemented in greenfield browsers.

I’m wondering about this too. Signals in v0.31.0 probably could have leveraged them for disposing the signal stream.

We should really support this. It shouldn't be that difficult to implement and it really has broad support in browsers. Having abortable fetch is a pretty important feature. I was just reminded about it, so I thought I would bring it up again.
Certainly a good candidate for someone to contribute to Deno that wouldn't be small, as it likely would require communication with Rust to abort the fetch.

It’s a complex feature to add but I agree that it’s important.
