.NET License Version

Naples is a simple asynchronous runtime for C#, built as a learning project inspired by the Rust library Tokio. The name is a nod to the Italian city โ€” and to Tokio itself, which is also named after a city.

How does it work

  • Waker: holds a callback and fires it once when signaled, telling the scheduler a task is ready;
  • Scheduler: maintains a queue of tasks and runs them one by one โ€” if a task is not completed it gets re-queued;
  • Runtime: the public face of the library, exposes Spawn() to add tasks and Run() to start the executor loop;
  • Channel<T>: a typed pipe between two tasks โ€” one side sends values with Send(), the other receives them with TryReceive();

Example

using Naples.Core;
using Naples.Sync;

var runtime = new Runtime();
var channel = new Channel<string>();

// Task producer - sends a message
runtime.Spawn(() =>
{
    channel.Send("Hi from Naples");
    return Task.CompletedTask;
});

// Task consumer - receives a message
runtime.Spawn(() =>
{
    if (channel.TryReceive(out var message))
        Console.WriteLine(message); // "Hi from Naples!"

    return Task.CompletedTask;
});

// Runs everything
runtime.Run();

The runtime runs the loop, runs the producer, then the consumer and when the queue is empty it stops.

Requirements

  • Windows 10 or later
  • .NET SDK 10.0 or later

How to use

To add Naples as a dependency in your C# project execute this command:

dotnet add package Naples --version 1.0.0 # In the command prompt or powershell

Now in the .csproj file should appear this line:

<PackageReference Include="Naples" Version="1.0.0" />

Limitations

  • Single-threaded โ€” all tasks run on one thread
  • Not thread-safe
  • No exception handling inside tasks
  • No I/O support (no timers, no sockets)
