What are the benefits of Smol compared to the dominant async framework Tokio?

[–] jamesthurley@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

As I understand it, the benefits are that it’s a much smaller dependency and (as the article mentions) unlike tokio you don’t always need things to be ’static or even Send, depending on your scenario.

This article talks more about the benefits of LocalExecutor.
