Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

The State of Async Rust
My understanding is you always need a runtime, somethings needs to drive the async flow. But there are others on the market, just not without the.. market domination... of tokio.
https://github.com/smol-rs/smol looks promising simply for being minimal
https://github.com/bytedance/monoio looks potentially easier to work with than tokio
https://github.com/DataDog/glommio is built around linux io_uring and seems somewhat promising for performance reasons.
I haven't played with any of these yet, because Tokio is unfortunately the path of least resistance. And a bit viral in how it's infected tings.

Tokio for FFI app?
There is also https://github.com/smol-rs/smol which has components which you can compose into your own executor if you still need async IO but your usage patterns don't fit into the general purpose ones that Tokio provides.

Tokio application structure, critical code flow.

18 factors powering the Rust revolution, Part 2 of 3
Tokio is a "take what you need" framework, whilst Async-std started as an "everything the box" solution. Today both have a lot of crossover with micro async runtimes like smol becoming the foundation one of framework and optionally usable in the other. The ability to rip out a small dependent sub-crate (dependent package) like smol and use it independently with ease never get's boring, by the way. It's great way to include a test runtime in an async library without forcing the inclusion of a giant async framework.

[Question] Is Tokio a poor fit for non-network related concurrent applications?
Helix uses tokio. smol might be a good alternative however.

Tokio, the async runtime for Rust, hits 1.0
Found the issue in Google cache. I'm not sure it's really fair of me to post this link here, but equally I think it's better to give the actual text rather than leave it vague.

Keyword Generics Progress Report: February 2023 | Inside Rust Blog
I think it's fairer to say the language got so much more powerful that there wasn't any point making actors a language feature when they can be built from existing orthogonal language features. You're probably looking for actix (not actix-web, just actix). There's also Lunatic built in Rust but supporting any actors compiled to WebAssembly.

An Open Source Rust SNMP Simulator
Actix is an actor framework for developing concurrent applications built on top of the Tokio asynchronous runtime. It allows multiple actors to run on a single thread, but also allows actors to run on multiple threads via Arbiters. Actors can communicate with each other by sequentially exchanging typed messages.

I’ve seen frameworks for c++ (https://seastar.io/) and rust (https://github.com/actix/actix) which support what you’re describing out of the box.

Anyone using Actix?
The actix repository on github doesn't seem to be very active, and everyone seems to be focused on actix-web instead, is anyone out there using plain actix or any other actor-model implementation in Rust?

What programming languages are most used for creating advanced math-related software/simulations?
Rust is also another possibility: it's basically C++ but more modern with added features and safety. It can be tricky to write mathematical stuff in it, because you may not care too much about all the safety concerns Rust forces you to handle, but it can be useful to catch bugs ahead of times. Sadly, Rust seems to have no library for running programs on clusters of PCs, except maybe this one, which takes the Actor model implemented by Actix and runs it on a cluster. I don't know how tricky it is to use the Actor model for a scientific simulation, tho.

How should I structure an async/await/futures program with multiple event sources and mutable state?
I'd just use Actix for that. Make your state an actor and make it a StreamHandler for each of these sources, and that's it - now you just implement the business logic for handling each message in the StreamHandler::handle methods.

18 factors powering the Rust revolution, Part 2 of 3
However, this isn't even 50% of what's out there: Need raw parallel power (and maybe don't need an async runtime)? Checkout Rayon. Need simple Actors for concurrent processing? Checkout Actix. Need a larger Actor system for fault tolerance/CQRS messaging? Checkout Riker. Damn, I sound like a youtube advert 🤦 - For real though, this is the tip of the concurrency iceberg. There is so much more - and it's growing.
