What is ZIO?
It is a type-safe composable asynchronous and concurrent programming library for Scala that is based on pure functional programming.
ZIO is a tool in the Frameworks category of a tech stack.
Key Features
Build scalable applications with 100x the performance of Scala's FutureUse the full power of the Scala compiler to catch bugs at compile timeEasily build concurrent apps without deadlocks, race conditions, or complexityBuild apps that never leak resources (including threads!), even when they fail

ZIO Alternatives & Comparisons
What are some alternatives to ZIO?
RxJS
RxJS is a library for reactive programming using Observables, to make it easier to compose asynchronous or callback-based code. This project is a rewrite of Reactive-Extensions/RxJS with better performance, better modularity, better debuggable call stacks, while staying mostly backwards compatible, with some breaking changes that reduce the API surface.
Akka
Akka is a toolkit and runtime for building highly concurrent, distributed, and resilient message-driven applications on the JVM.
Netty
Netty is a NIO client server framework which enables quick and easy development of network applications such as protocol servers and clients. It greatly simplifies and streamlines network programming such as TCP and UDP socket server.
