Whisk

Simple and fast lockless async channels

Simple and fast async channels that can be used to implement futures, streams, notifiers, and actors. Whisk is purposely kept small, implemented in under 1000 lines of Rust code, with zero dependencies (not including feature flags to enable implementation of traits from other crates) - and also works on no_std!
