Yes, I agree, as I look more into mio.
Yes, it is.
I think it might be advantageous to end/close this thread and spawn off a new thread to do the following:
- solidify the requirements
- survey the existing crates.io efforts and how they do/do not meet the requirements
- analyze C# PIpes API and Java NIO and perhaps others for ideas/inspiration and/or problems to avoid
- spin up a repo to begin the Trait/Interface designs and make decisions about how this should all interoperate etc. (as I mentioned above).
EDIT: Unfortunately, today, I need to keep focused on other work, so, I'll try to get back to this when I can.
EDIT: I've started a new thread here (Towards a more perfect RustIO) to provide a place to discuss the "Rust IO" issue. Further discussion on this thread should be be limited to other concerns (if any).
