Split actix-core about actix HOT 10 OPEN

riker looks interesting, but I am not sure if rust needs actors system at all.

from actix.

I assume this would allow swapping tokios event loop with, for instance, glib?

@fafhrd91 I agree with @krircc if actix-core is the core actor systerm for many crates use, the 'actix' name more sences . also 'actix' name base on tokio will be influenced if some day that 'tokio' be found some problem like 'unsfe code problem'.

from actix.

I support actix-core as a name, because Actix is used, confusingly, to refer to both the actor system and web framework.

from actix.

actix -> actix-{runtime,rt}-tokio -> actix-web?

from actix.

The new Actor framework riker not use the tokio.

I encountered similar problem, and started working on temporary solution using feature flags and multiple Runtime implementations. You can see the work here : semtexzv@5dd634b

My goal is to use get actix somehow working on WebAssembly.

sorry, I don't have time atm. if anyone wants to work on this, I'll give access to repo. also @DoumanAsh can help :)

I can work on this. But I will need more details.

I'm confused. Isn't actix an actor framework itself?
