libxev: A cross-platform, high-performance event loop
io_uring support is obviously great & excellent, fulfills the "high performance" part well.
i was not expecting "Wasm + WASI" support at all. that's very cool. implementation is wasi_poll.zig (https://github.com/mitchellh/libxev/blob/main/src/backend/wa...). not to be unkind, but this makes me wonder very much if WASI is already missing the mark, if polling is the solution offered.
gotta say, this is some very understandable clean code. further enhancing my sense that i really ought be playing with zig.
