Trale – A Minimalistic Asynchronous Rust Executor

Hello everyone!

I'm excited to announce the first release of trale, my minimalistic asynchronous executor crate! This project is designed to provide a simple yet functional educational resource for those studying Rust's async ecosystem. Since my initial post, there have been significant improvements and simplifications in the code, especially in the reactor and the addition of several new future types.

The goal of this crate is not only to provide a working executor, but also to serve as a learning resource for understanding how async systems work under the hood—particularly for those interested in exploring Rust’s async capabilities and its interaction with low-level Linux system interfaces.

Future work planned is a port to use Linux's io_uring API.

Thanks!
