Use a more efficient strategy for waiting on processes

9

Right now, we use `SIGPROC` to wait for process events on Unix and thread pooling to wait for process events on Windows. This is a very inefficient strategy that doesn't...

Add a trait for abstracing over executors

12

In `smol`, `Executor` and `LocalExecutor` don't implement any common traits. So, it's impossible to create a common abstraction over both traits. This is a blocker for https://github.com/notgull/smol-hyper/pull/2#issuecomment-1896504478 and https://github.com/smol-rs/smol/issues/292. However...

When attempting to run the `hello-world-dl` example on NetBSD 9.3, I get this error: ``` thread 'main' panicked at 'called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: OpenError { kind: Library, detail:...

The only way to get a binary for Ragel outside of your package manager is to build it from source. This makes it difficult to use in CI environments. It...

Port to use glow instead of a function call table

3

It would be nice to be able to use this crate on web targets. As far as I know, the only portable way of doing this is to use the...

Conditionally use more efficient strategies for polling file I/O

4

For Windows there is file completion (for some operations, we'd have to fall back to `blocking` for others), for Linux there is `io_uring` and for BSD there is `aio`. It...

Allow setting the fallback fonts

2

I'm trying to add support for WASM to my `piet-cosmic-text` crate by embedding a font into the executable. However, it seems that, even after I set the font using `set_sans_serif_font`...
