Async executors.

This crate provides two reference executors that trade performance for functionality. They should be considered reference executors that are "good enough" for most use cases. For more specialized use cases, consider writing your own executor on top of async-task.

Examples

use async_executor::Executor;
use futures_lite::future;

// Create a new executor.
let ex = Executor::new();

// Spawn a task.
let task = ex.spawn(async {
    println!("Hello world");
});

// Run the executor until the task completes.
future::block_on(ex.run(task));
