toki-no

時の... of time...

toki-no is a minimal and fast async runtime for Rust.

Overview

toki-no is an exploration into the fundamentals of asynchronous execution, built from the ground up in pure Rust. It provides a lean executor and I/O reactor, focusing on simplicity and performance.

The core goal is to provide a runtime that is easy to understand, has a minimal API, and maintains low overhead.

Features

• Minimal & Lightweight: A small API surface and a lean codebase.
• Fast & Efficient: Designed for low-overhead asynchronous execution.
• I/O Driven: Powered by a modern event-polling mechanism.
• Pure Rust: Built with safe, modern Rust.

Usage

Add toki-no to your Cargo.toml:

use std::time::Duration;

#[toki_no::main]
async fn main() {
    println!("Hello from an async world!");

    // Spawn a concurrent task
    let handle = toki_no::spawn(async {
        println!("Task is running...");
        toki_no::sleep(Duration::from_secs(1)).await;
        "Task finished!"
    });

    println!("Main function continues...");

    let result = handle.await;
    println!("Result from spawned task: {}", result);
}
