Simple and fast async channels that can be used to implement futures, streams,
notifiers, and actors. Whisk is purposely kept small, implemented in under 500
lines of Rust code, with zero dependencies (not including feature flags to
enable implementation of traits from other crates) - and also works on no_std!
Whisk targets Rust 1.65 and later.
Benchmarks for v0.9.0 actor on pasts runtime (compared to dynamic library):
Dynamic library: 5ns
Whisk (2-thread): 4.599µs
Flume (2-thread): 4.629µs
Whisk (1-thread): 288ns
Flume (1-thread): 329ns
These aren't very well done benchmarks, but in my testing whisk is always faster on single threaded and sometimes faster on the multi-threaded benchmark.
