It would be good to have more I/O API calls available that don't require as much copying but so far there simply aren't any such APIs that are mature and stable

It would be good to have more I/O API calls available that don't require as much copying but so far there simply aren't any such APIs that are mature and stable. POSIX AIO is only supported in a very limited way; on Linux it only works for files, not sockets. splice() only works between files/pipes and TCP sockets but not Unix domain sockets. Etc etc.
