% Concurrency and Paralellism
|
|
|
|
Rust as a language doesn't *really* have an opinion on how to do concurrency or
|
|
parallelism. The standard library exposes OS threads and blocking sys-calls
|
|
because *everyone* has those, and they're uniform enough that you can provide
|
|
an abstraction over them in a relatively uncontroversial way. Message passing,
|
|
green threads, and async APIs are all diverse enough that any abstraction over
|
|
them tends to involve trade-offs that we weren't willing to commit to for 1.0.
|
|
|
|
However the way Rust models concurrency makes it relatively easy design your own
|
|
concurrency paradigm as a library and have *everyone else's* code Just Work
|
|
with yours. Just require the right lifetimes and Send and Sync where appropriate
|
|
and you're off to the races. Or rather, off to the... not... having... races. |
