Modern Async Primitives on iOS, Android, and the Web

• AsyncExtensions

  1 289 0.0 Swift

  AsyncExtensions aims to mimic Swift Combine operators for async sequences.

  

In that blog, John makes a note of the AsyncExtensions library, which has several cool Features like merge(), zip(), etc., that you'd expect from other stream/collections API surfaces.

• reactor-core

  21 4,843 9.4 Java

  Non-Blocking Reactive Foundation for the JVM

  

Kotlin also has a construct for asynchronous collections/streams. Kotlin's version of AsyncSequence is called a Flow. Just as Swift's AsyncSequence builds upon prior experience with RxSwift and Combine, Kotlin's Flow APIs build upon earlier stream/collection APIs in the JVM ecosystem: Java's RxJava, Java8 Streams, Project Reactor, and Scala's Akka.

• InfluxDB

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• Netty

  Netty project - an event-driven asynchronous network application framework

  

In this space, we also have the somewhat related term blocking. Java's NIO library is one well-known non-blocking tool used for managing multiple tasks on a single Java thread. When listening to sockets, most of the time a thread is just blocked, doing nothing until it receives some data. So, it's efficient to use a single thread for monitoring many sockets, to increase the likelihood of the thread having some actual work to do. The Selector API does this but is notoriously challenging to program well. Instead, developers use frameworks like Netty which abstract some of NIO's complexity and layer on some best practices.

• Akka

  33 12,948 9.5 Scala

  Build highly concurrent, distributed, and resilient message-driven applications on the JVM

  

Kotlin also has a construct for asynchronous collections/streams. Kotlin's version of AsyncSequence is called a Flow.
