Async Server Framework
Server-Fx is a framework for building asynchronous network servers in Rust. It doesn't use event-based IO. Instead it uses busy polling on background threads. Although it doesn't use Futures or Tokio, it borrows a lot of their concepts.
Server-Fx is a WIP and isn't production ready in it's current state - The HTTP parser is a bit hand-wavey, for example.
