Actually, Euclid is not just minimalist event-driven framework based on epoll. I just could not find a better short description. Euclid is an attempt of minimalist out-of-box solution based on event-driven architecture. Here is a reason, why I did not choose another frameworks: [1] It's hardly a framework, it's just a loop; [2] A good event-driven framework. But it's not a complete solution. For example, there is no SSL support, no HTTP 1.1 support, no config parser, no modularity; [3] Really good event-driven framework. But it's a big code-base. And again it's not a complete solution (see previous); [4] I like libevent. I read repeatedly libevent source. Euclid inherited a few things from libevent (nothing special, but for example, how it works with OpenSSL API). Bot it's a big code-base. And there is a lot of logic intended for handling many connections. But my trading bot will not work with a lot of connections. I don't need that logic at all; [5] It's a loop. I agree it's a good loop. But I need much more (in relatively small code-base!); In other words, I needed small, cute and fast solution that satisfy my needs (trading bot). YC HN inspired me a lot, a minimalist, cute and exactly what I want.
