Icicle uses Awaitables and Generators to create Coroutines, interruptible functions that use the yield keyword to define interruption points. When a Coroutine yields an Awaitable, execution of the coroutine is interrupted until the awaitable resolves.

Feature Highlights

• Full-featured event loop for asynchronous programming
• Multiple event loop back-ends
• Asynchronous TCP and UDP sockets
• Asynchronous DNS resolution
• Standalone HTTP and WebSocket server
