  https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26745275 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26745275 Is it really worth it to jump into a completely new feature to get marginal improvements on the most basic stuff (io, networking, etc...), all of this, in exchange of working with unstable APIs and unproven security vectors? My answer is no but I can picture people who would say yes. I guess it's a matter of personal preference (plus I work on stuff that has to be reliable, above everything else).

    It depends on what you’re building?

      yea, if you're building a distributed system that will need to scale to handle millions of TPS, then networking, IO, filesystem etc.. improvements can be significant.
