I'm genuinely interested in knowing what the problem is with an event loop using epoll and a threadpool for IO that blocks but epoll can't poll. I've used proprietary event loops at 2 giant companies, libuv with C, asio with cpp and nodes async, and the async IO was never the problem in terms of performance or complexity. What is the problem that's trying to be solved?
- sanxiyn 10y agoThe problem being solved is better UX (in this case, developer experience). It is an event loop using epoll and a threadpool, just in a more palatable (and composable) interface, without much overhead.
