Asynchronous programming foundations: futures, streams, combinators (join!, select!) and utilities enabling ergonomic async control flow; faithful line-by-line transliteration preserving upstream semantics and source provenance.
This is a Kotlin Multiplatform line-by-line transliteration port of rust-lang/futures-rs.
Original Project: This port is based on rust-lang/futures-rs. All design credit and project intent belong to the upstream authors; this repository is a faithful port to Kotlin Multiplatform with no behavioural changes intended.
This is an in-progress port. The goal is feature parity with the upstream Rust crate while providing a native Kotlin Multiplatform API. Every Kotlin file carries a // port-lint: source <path> header naming its upstream Rust counterpart so the AST-distance tool can track provenance.

Zero-cost asynchronous programming in Rust
futures-rs is a library providing the foundations for asynchronous programming in Rust.
It includes key trait definitions like Stream, as well as utilities like join!,
select!, and various futures combinator methods which enable expressive asynchronous
control flow.
Add this to your Cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
futures = "0.3"
The current futures requires Rust 1.71 or later.
stdFutures-rs works without the standard library, such as in bare metal environments.
However, it has a significantly reduced API surface. To use futures-rs in
a #[no_std] environment, use:
[dependencies]
futures = { version = "0.3", default-features = false }
