Yes, that's what I meant when I said it not clear whether goroutines can be replicated as a library in rust "without compromising rust's core values". In fact, I mentioned no-GC and zero-overhead C calls.

Since libgreen did have massive stacks and one could not spawn 100s of thousands of tasks without changing system limits like overcommit, it was not really a comprehensive duplication of goroutines.

Well, you could customize the stack size, and we did when running stress tests like that. You don't need to change system settings. The only difference is that you have to know how much stack your "goroutine" is going to need up front.

This is really interesting. One or both of you all should write a blog post on it because I'm eager to learn more.

I love C. Love Go. Love the idea of Rust though I've never tried it, and I just want to know more.
