Crate tasky

fluent async task experiments

Read more about it in the post on postfix spawn. This is an experiment in moving the design of tasks from a model where “tasks are async threads” to a model where“tasks are parallel futures“.

This means tasks will no longer start unless explicitly .awaited, dangling tasks become a thing of the past, and by default async Rust will act structurally concurrent.

Examples

use tasky::prelude::*;
 
async_std::task::block_on(async {
    let res = async { "nori is a horse" }
        .spawn()
        .name("meow".into())
        .await;
    assert_eq!(res, "nori is a horse");
})
