Is this comparable to Sea star [0]?
Seastar and Silk are both event-driven, thread-per-core platforms with synchronization and scheduling facilities built-in.
Seastar is meant to be an integrated platform so it includes I/O and networking primitives for high-performance storage and socket operations to boot.
Silk does not appear to take an opinion on how the actual work performed on the thread should be architected
Silk seems like mostly a scheduler that uses C++'s native coroutines. Seastar is a future-based framework. Both contain a scheduler and enable async coding patterns.
