Sans-IO: The secret to effective Rust for network services
> If I want to write a function that listens or times out in sans-IO style, should I use tokio::select? If so, where is the async runtime coming from, and how will the caller of the function be able to avoid caring?
To "time-out" in sans-IO style means that your state machine has an `Instant` internally and, once called at a specific point in the future, compares the provided `now` parameter with the internal timeout and changes its state accordingly. See [0] for an example.
> but is absolutely the domain of a random library function that you might want to expose.
That entire `main` function is _not_ what you would expose as a library. The event loop should always live as high up in the stack as possible, thereby deferring the use of blocking or non-blocking IO and allowing composition with other sans-IO components.
You can absolutely write an event loop without async. You can set the read-timeout of the socket to the value of `poll_timeout() - Instant::now` and call `handle_timeout` in case your `UdpSocket::recv` call errors with a timeout. str0m has an example [1] like that in their repository.
> It's a bit jarring to introduce the concept as not requiring choices like async vs not, then immediately require the use of async in the event loop (required to drive the state machine to completion).
All the event loops you see in the post are solely there to ensure we have a working program but are otherwise irrelevant, esp. implementation details like using `tokio::select` and the like. Perhaps I should have made that clearer.
