Optional build feature for io_uring

Current Behavior

Things are fast.

Desired Behavior

Things could be even faster 😹

If you haven't read much on io_uring I'd check it out. But what I'm thinking here is there could be an optional feature when building Robyn if you want to use io_uring

Since Robyn is using actix-web and they have an expiremental feature for io_uring you could have a similar feature here.

Hi @mwilli20 ,

This looks like an interesting feature :D

I'd have to see how to have os specific builds. If this branch doesn't change the API much, I don't think that should be hard.

Do you have any previous experience with it??

[mwilli20]

I have not played with this yet but was thinking it could be cool. I think it's as simple as using https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/features.html and no API change as it just changes the underlying runtime in actix-web.

@mwilli20 , I just went through the docs. I can see that cargo supports features in a very simple way.

But I am not sure if maturin(the tool that builds robyn for distribution) does.

I did read maturin's user guide and found this link(https://maturin.rs/distribution.html?highlight=option#build-wheels) helpful. But still couldn't understand what would I need to change here.

Maybe @messense can please help?

@sansyrox You can use the --cargo-extra-args option to pass --features.

Thanks @messense , just went through the documentation again. Thank you! :D

@mwilli20, I will implement as an optional release in the next version :D

Amazing!
