Crate futures_lite

source ·
Expand description

Futures, streams, and async I/O combinators.

This crate is a subset of futures that compiles an order of magnitude faster, fixes minor warts in its API, fills in some obvious gaps, and removes almost all unsafe code from it.

In short, this crate aims to be more enjoyable than futures but still fully compatible with it.

Examples

use futures_lite::future;

fn main() {
    future::block_on(async {
        println!("Hello world!");
    })
}

Modules

Macros
