In the world of Rust programming language, asynchronous programming is an important means to improve program efficiency and performance. In modern software development, with the increasing demand for concurrent programming, asynchronous runtime processing of tasks such as I/O operations and network communication has become particularly important. Smol is a lightweight and fast asynchronous runtime in the Rust language. It maintains a concise and clear API while having rich features, which is deeply loved by many developers. Its efficient scheduling capability enables the runtime to support native asynchronous/await and run efficiently. Next, we will delve into Smol and provide detailed examples to help developers better understand and apply it to practical projects.

Smol’s role and characteristics

Smol is an asynchronous runtime specifically designed for Rust. It provides three types of actuators to poll futures:

  • Thread Local Executor : Used forTask::local()The task created.
  • Work theft actuator : Used forTask::spawn()The task created.
  • Blocking actuator : Used forTask::blocking()blocking!iter()reader()andwriter()The task…
