You seem to be knowledgeable so I'll ask.
[My journey was basically being kool-aided on various green thread variants and async and whatnot, only to realize that threads are pretty damn excellent for most use cases, and all alternatives come with subtle drawbacks.]
Do you think that io_uring (or similar) has a ubiquitous future (as opposed to niche – which there is clearly a demand for atm)? Or is combining kernel and user space scheduling is a forever-hard-to-tune problem? Also, do you see any potential improvements to traditional threading/scheduling that could be helpful alleviating some of the resource hogging issues (which are real but over-hyped imo)? Thanks.
