*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`:
```rust
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);
}
```
