ltask is inspired by skynet (https://github.com/cloudwu/skynet) , but it's a library rather than a framework.
It implement an n:m scheduler , so that you can run M lua VMs on N OS threads.
Each lua service (an independent lua VM) works in request/response mode, they use message channels to inter-communicate.
root is a special service that can spawn new services. For example,
-- user local ltask = require "ltask" local S = {} print "User Start" function S.ping(...) ltask.timeout(10, function() print(1) end) ltask.timeout(20, function() print(2) end) ltask.timeout(30, function() print(3) end) ltask.sleep(40) -- sleep 0.4 sec -- response return "PING", ... end return S-- root local function boot() print "Root Start" print(os.date("%c", (ltask.now()))) local addr = S.spawn("user", "Hello")-- spawn a new service `user` print(ltask.call(addr, "ping", "PONG"))-- request "ping" message end boot()lua test.lua
