Project status

This is repository for mioco before version 0.9. It's hear for historical reasons, while I've started reworking mioco in the original location: https://github.com/dpc/mioco . Sorry for all the confusion.

Rust community decided that futures should be main Rust async IO story, so you might want to look at tokio-fiber: coroutines as Futures project, which should have mioco-like API and allow easily porting code using mioco.

Code snippet

    mioco::start(|| -> io::Result<()> {
        let addr = listend_addr();

        let listener = try!(TcpListener::bind(&addr));

        println!("Starting tcp echo server on {:?}", try!(listener.local_addr()));

        loop {
            let mut conn = try!(listener.accept());

            mioco::spawn(move || -> io::Result<()> {
                let mut buf = [0u8; 1024 * 16];
                loop {
                    let size = try!(conn.read(&mut buf));
                    if size == 0 {/* eof */ break; }
                    let _ = try!(conn.write_all(&mut buf[0..size]));
                }

                Ok(())
            });
        }
    }).unwrap().unwrap();

This trivial code scales very well. See benchmarks.

Contributors welcome!

Introduction

Scalable, coroutine-based, asynchronous IO handling library for Rust programming language.

Mioco uses asynchronous event loop, to cooperatively switch between coroutines (aka. green threads), depending on data availability. You can think of mioco as Node.js for Rust or Rust green threads on top of mio.
