lua-eco(中文)

Lua-eco is a Lua interpreter with a built-in libev event loop. It makes all Lua code running in Lua coroutines so code that does I/O can be suspended until data is ready. This allows you write code as if you're using blocking I/O, while still allowing code in other coroutines to run when you'd otherwise wait for I/O. It's kind of like Goroutines.

Lua-eco also provides some modules including timer, file, signal, exec, socket, http, ssl, dns, termios, ubus and so on.

Would you like to try it? Kinda interesting.

#!/usr/bin/env eco

local time = require 'eco.time'

eco.run(function(name)
    while true do
        print(time.now(), name, eco.id())
        time.sleep(1.0)
    end
end, 'eco1')

eco.run(function(name)
    while true do
        print(time.now(), name, eco.id())
        time.sleep(2.0)
    end
end, 'eco2')
