To me, the common thing is having a first-class way to deal with something that's poised to execute later. RSC's way to do it is opaque, whereas quoting isn't opaque. In that sense, quoting is more powerful — which is why it can express both RSC and more mixed paradigms like Electric. But I think it's a meaningful connection because it's both about intent and capabilities. There aren't a lot of programming paradigms that enable cross-runtime composition and orchestration.
