  1. mioco

    [no longer maintained] Scalable, coroutine-based, fibers/green-threads for Rust. (aka MIO COroutines).

    Honestly Rust with green threads as an option would be exciting one. Looks like there has been an attempt before (https://github.com/dpc/mioco - no longer maintained).

  2. Stream

    Stream - Scalable APIs for Chat, Feeds, Moderation, & Video. Stream helps developers build engaging apps that scale to millions with performant and flexible Chat, Feeds, Moderation, and Video APIs and SDKs powered by a global edge network and enterprise-grade infrastructure.

  3. rayon

    Rayon: A data parallelism library for Rust

    (see https://github.com/rayon-rs/rayon/tree/master/src/iter/plumbing)

  4. inko

    A language for building concurrent software with confidence

    Perhaps it's worth looking into Inko? I apologise if I'm shilling my own project a bit too hard here, but reading through the comments it does seem people would be interested in what it's trying to do :)

  5. HVM

    A massively parallel, optimal functional runtime in Rust

    Then, actually unrelated but worth mentioning: HVM. Finally, something new on the functional front that isn't dependent types!

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
