# juliex - a minimal futures executor
juliex is a concurrent executor for Rust futures. It is implemented as a
threadpool executor using a single, shared queue. Algorithmically, it is very
similar to the Threadpool executor provided by the futures crate. The main
difference is that juliex uses a crossbeam channel and performs a single
allocation per spawned future, whereas the futures Threadpool uses std
concurrency primitives and multiple allocations.
Similar to [romio][romio] - an IO reactor - juliex currently provides no user
configuration. It exposes the most minimal API possible.
## Example
```rust
#![feature(async_await)]
use std::io;
use futures::StreamExt;
use futures::executor;
use futures::io::AsyncReadExt;
use romio::{TcpListener, TcpStream};
fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
executor::block_on(async {
let mut listener = TcpListener::bind(&"127.0.0.1:7878".parse().unwrap())?;
let mut incoming = listener.incoming();
println!("Listening on 127.0.0.1:7878");
while let Some(stream) = incoming.next().await {
let stream = stream?;
let addr = stream.peer_addr()?;
juliex::spawn(async move {
println!("Accepting stream from: {}", addr);
echo_on(stream).await.unwrap();
println!("Closing stream from: {}", addr);
});
}
Ok(())
})
}
async fn echo_on(stream: TcpStream) -> io::Result<()> {
let (mut reader, mut writer) = stream.split();
reader.copy_into(&mut writer).await?;
Ok(())
}
```
## Safety
This crate uses `unsafe` internally around atomic access. Invariants around this
are manually checked.
