I’m building an app in Objective-C. It is shares code on Mac, iOS and server and I’ve done it with the express purpose of learning every single little bit of the stack. (In part, to discover why Smalltalk didn’t make it.) I just finished a class I call GTKManySocketManager which abstracts away over the “polling” functions (poll/select/epoll). I wish I knew it was this easy when I learned Javascript. I hate hunting a library to do something for me—and, when I do find code I want to use, it is almost always best to modify it. Love it. Long live the socket. Build your own stack because it’s worth it’s worth it.
