If async were a first class citizen, then it might be the default. Maybe that's an oversight that has to be rectified. It is true that as soon as I start writing a GUI application, async has to become involved. And maybe it would be good to take advantage of async calls to
sleepor when opening files and sockets.I'll give
smola shot on my next rust project.What are the benefits of Smol compared to the dominant async framework Tokio?
As I understand it, the benefits are that it’s a much smaller dependency and (as the article mentions) unlike
tokioyou don’t always need things to be’staticor evenSend, depending on your scenario.This article talks more about the benefits of LocalExecutor.
