Rust has tasks so you can just spawn a task to handle the socket reads and do other stuff while it's blocking in other tasks. The non-blocking stuff happens for you behind the scenes by the task scheduler. In Erlang, you normally just make all your blocking calls in a process (the Erlang version of Rust tasks) and don't worry about it. Erlang's gen_tcp:recv does have a mode where it will return immediately with any available data, but I've never used it, and I don't believe its use is common. jack. _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list Rust-dev@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
