A Rust library providing green-threads (fibers) similar to Goroutines, built on MIO for scalable async I/O.
Mioco is a Rust library that provides green-threads, also known as fibers or coroutines, for lightweight concurrency similar to Goroutines in Go. It is built on MIO to enable scalable asynchronous I/O, allowing developers to write efficient concurrent applications without the overhead of operating system threads.
Rust developers building high-performance, concurrent applications such as network servers, real-time systems, or any I/O-bound services that require scalable concurrency models.
Developers choose Mioco for its simplified API that mirrors Rust's standard library, making it easier to adopt than raw MIO, while offering Goroutine-like concurrency for efficient and scalable I/O handling in Rust ecosystems.
[no longer maintained] Scalable, coroutine-based, fibers/green-threads for Rust. (aka MIO COroutines).
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Mioco models its API after Rust's standard library, making it easier for developers familiar with Rust to adopt without learning a completely new paradigm, as highlighted in the README's goals.
Provides lightweight user-space threads that avoid OS thread overhead, enabling scalable concurrency similar to Goroutines in Go, which is core to its value proposition.
Leverages MIO for high-performance asynchronous I/O, allowing developers to build scalable network servers and real-time systems without the complexity of raw MIO, as stated in the project description.
Prioritizes concurrency control mechanisms as a core component, essential for building robust concurrent applications, which is a stated goal in the README.
The project is in a re-implementation phase, with key features like async file I/O still planned and not yet available, and old features not fully ported, as admitted in the README.
Being less mature than alternatives like tokio, Mioco has a smaller community, fewer third-party integrations, and potentially less documentation, which can hinder development.
Due to the ongoing re-implementation and previous version migration to a separate repo, users may encounter breaking changes or bugs, making it risky for stable projects.
