Kanal is a high-performance Rust channel library implementing CSP-style message passing with both synchronous and asynchronous APIs. It supports mpmc, mpsc, and oneshot channels and unifies communication between sync and async code.

Use cases

  • pass messages between threads in Rust
  • communicate between sync and async Rust code
  • fast mpmc channel for concurrent workers
  • replace std::sync::mpsc for better performance
  • oneshot channel for single-value handoff
  • tokio-compatible channel with sync API

When to choose

  • you need top channel throughput in Rust
  • your code mixes sync threads and async runtimes
  • you need mpmc semantics beyond std mpsc

When to avoid

  • you only need a simple channel and std::sync::mpsc suffices
  • you need broadcast channels or complex stream combinators
