And when one forced to code the event loop it is hard to use the native threads to saturate the cores. Very few applications uses that model and the code that tries it looks messy to say the least. So if Rust can do this right, it would be extremely attractive point of the language. _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list Rust-dev@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
