This is yet another leaky abstraction. The non-portability is mentioned: If portability is essential to you, sd-event is not your best option. sd-event is a wrapper around Linux-specific APIs ... Also, "allows us to access"? Why the implication that epoll and timerfd were inaccessible?

  libuv seems to handle such things pretty well. Ported to AIX, *BSD, Darwin, Solaris, and Windows.
