The complaint that the server side of web sockets requires using epoll is strange. Of course we have known for years that select has scalability problems, but we have moved on. That this implementer says they normally use select in 2015 for networked services is worrying. If using epoll and kqueue directly is not your cup of tea, just use libuv or one of the other wrappers. It's not hard then. I know because I'm a native epoll user but recently helped someone on Stack Overflow and it took me maybe fifteen minutes to write a working libuv server having never used libuv before.
