How does Rust’s Waker system integrate with OS event loops?
Updated May 24, 2026
Short answer
Waker bridges OS readiness events and Rust task rescheduling.
Deep explanation
When a future blocks, it registers a Waker. OS event loop signals readiness, and Waker enqueues task back to executor. This decouples I/O completion from execution scheduling.
