I havent looked at this yet (not a rust user though the language looks
interesting to me) but I am super excited that another language implementation
of the wire protocols exists!

Thanks for your interest and enthousiasm.
When I started working on the current implementation, there was no such thing
as future-rs or tokio but if you dare to have a look at the mess named
"TODO.md", you'll see a mention in the 'vision' section. I'm convinced that
having the async story based on future-rs is almost mandatory but I'm
wondering how much it could fit in the exisiting design. Anyway I expect it
to require a bit of upfront thinking, which I have no time for at the moment.
But that definitely looks like a highly interesting topic.
Regarding the design and threading model I really need to write down
something. In short : all IO happens in a single thread (reactor pattern),
the user threads send commands to the event loop via a mio channel and do a
blocking read on a regular rust channel, the event loop notifies completion
of the operation via this channel.
It's a bit early for benchmarks, I'd rather focus on correctness for the
moment, teach myself how to write a meaningful benchmark, and then only write
it to publish its results.

Benoît

It looks really awesome!
I was wondering, have you investigated working with futures/Tokio? I
looked at the design document in the source, but it's mostly about the
API. I would be interested in hearing about your choices of internals,
like threading model. Also curious if you've done any benchmarks.
Cheers,
