This package builds upon + Emacs 25 generators to provide functions that pause while they wait on + asynchronous events. They do not block any thread while paused. The main + components of this package are aio-defun/aio-lambda to define async + function, and aio-await to pause these functions while they wait on + asynchronous events. When an asynchronous function is paused, the main + thread is not blocked. It is no more or less powerful than callbacks, but + is nicer to use. This is implementation is based on Emacs 25 generators, + and asynchronous functions are actually iterators in disguise, operated as + stackless, asymmetric coroutines. + </longdescription> + <stabilize-allarches /> + <upstream> + <bugs-to>https://github.com/skeeto/emacs-aio/issues/</bugs-to> + <remote-id type="github">skeeto/emacs-aio</remote-id> + </upstream> +</pkgmetadata> |
