An async runtime for Rust, designed to be performant, minimal and simple.

Motivation

I wanted to see how an async runtime worked in rust, so i created my own. I wanted to build this with these criteria:

• Minimal Overhead – Focused on performance and low-latency execution.
• No Unnecessary Dependencies – Lightweight and focused design.
• Efficient - Making the most use of the users/servers CPUs.

Technicals

• Mutlithreaded: Built on the N:M threading model.
• Work stealing scheduler: Making the most use of the CPUs.
• Networking ready: TcpListener/UdpSocket builtin.
• Efficient IO handling: liten is using the widely used mio library for its IO event loop.
