Your point is valid. But I was under the impression that lower level stuff often did not pull. At point does a TCP/IP connection pull for example? Bellow epll/kqueue? Or the keyboard->machine connection? I haven't done anything that lowlevel in a while though, so I could be wrong.
- kasey_junk 11y agoRemember that epoll/kqueue are just more efficient abstractions on top of OS level event loops. Those event loops are polling from driver* level queues and interrupts. Interrupts are just* the cpu polling on interrupt lines in hardware.
