It's Linux only because epoll, which it is based on, is a Linux system call.
- danellis 12y agoThat comes from his refusal to use other libraries. He'd get the same performance using a library that abstracts thinly over epoll, /dev/kpoll etc.
- codezero 12y agoI'm not sure I'd call this a refusal, they've only just released it and it was born from a personal project where they didn't need to create a generalized portable solution. This project may be useful to others as is which is probably why they released it.
