Cro

Cro is a Raku framework for building reactive, asynchronous, and distributed applications, particularly focused on network services like HTTP APIs and WebSocket servers. It provides tools for handling I/O operations efficiently using Raku's concurrency features, making it suitable for high-performance and real-time applications. The framework emphasizes type safety, composability, and ease of use in developing scalable networked systems.

Also known as: Cro Raku, Cro Framework, Cro (Raku), Cro Network Framework, Cro-async

🧊Why learn Cro?

Developers should learn Cro when building network-intensive applications in Raku, such as microservices, RESTful APIs, or real-time web services, as it leverages Raku's asynchronous capabilities for efficient resource usage. It is particularly useful for projects requiring high concurrency, low latency, or distributed architectures, offering built-in support for protocols like HTTP/2 and WebSockets. Use Cro to simplify the development of reactive systems where event-driven programming and non-blocking I/O are critical.
