Leviathan

From the depths of the sea, where darkness meets vastness, emerges Leviathan: an unyielding force of speed and power. In a world where the arcane and the agile intertwine, a loop forged in Python takes its dance. Leviathan, master of the journey, governs events with a steady hand—an ultra-fast event loop that deploys its bastion in asyncio, powered by the artistry of Zig. Between promises and futures, its path is clear: to rule swiftly where code is prepared.

🚀 Features

  • Ultra-fast speed: Thanks to low-level optimizations enabled by Zig.
  • Full asyncio compatibility: A drop-in replacement for the default event loop.
  • Efficient design: Focused on maximizing performance and minimizing latency.
  • Simplicity: Easy integration with existing Python projects.

📜 Requirements

  • Python 3.13+
  • Zig 0.14.x (for development or contributions)

🔧 Installation

To install Leviathan, just execute:

python setup.py install

📦 Basic Usage

from leviathan import Loop
import asyncio

async def main():
    print("Hello from Leviathan!")
    await asyncio.sleep(1)
    print("Goodbye from Leviathan!")

loop = Loop()
try:
    loop.run_until_complete(main())
finally:
    loop.close()

🧪 Benchmarks

Leviathan stands out for its speed and performance. Here is a preliminary chart illustrating its superiority over other event loops:
