 - Run tasks concurrently: V
 - Join mechanism: V
 - Sleep mechanism: V
-- Cancellation mechanism: V
+- Cancellation mechanism: X  Note: giambio.exceptions.CancelledError is raised inside the parent task instead of the child one, probably related to some f*ck ups with the value of EventLoop.running, need to investigate
 - Exception propagation: V
 - Concurrent I/O: X   Note: I/O would work only when a task is joined (weird)
 - Return values of coroutines: X     Note: Return values ARE actually stored in task objects properly, but are messed up later when joining tasks
+- Scheduling tasks for future execution: V
