# aver-rt
`aver-rt` is the shared Rust runtime for Aver.
It is used by:
- the Aver VM runtime adapters in this repository
- Rust projects generated by `aver compile`
The crate exists so Aver semantics live in one place instead of being duplicated
between the VM runtime and generated Rust output.
That shared-runtime role is practical, not just architectural. Improvements to
`AverList`, `String.slice`, or service helpers here affect both generated Rust
programs and the VM-facing adapters that rely on the same semantics.
## What it contains
- `AverList<T>`: persistent list used by Aver list operations, including deep-list
paths such as teardown, `tail`, and `list_uncons`; append-heavy chains are
packed into structural segments so the VM and generated Rust share the
same faster behavior on `append + get(i)` workloads
- `AverDisplay`: Aver-specific display formatting used by `Console.print` and string interpolation
- shared runtime helpers for console, time, disk, env, and string operations
- shared service types:
- `Header`
- `HttpResponse`
- `HttpRequest`
- `TcpConnection`
- shared service runtimes:
- `tcp`
- `http` (behind the `http` feature)
- `http_server`
## Features
- default: no optional dependencies
- `http`: enables the HTTP client runtime via `ureq`
## Stability
This crate is primarily intended to support Aver-generated programs and the Aver
VM runtime. The public API should be treated as young and evolving.
