EventCore
=========

This is a high-performance native event loop abstraction for D, focused on asynchronous I/O and GUI message integration. The API is callback (delegate) based. For a higher level fiber based abstraction, take a look at [vibe.d](https://vibed.org/).

### Open questions

- Error code reporting
- Adopting existing file descriptors (done for files)
- Enqueued writes
- Use the type system to prohibit passing thread-local handles to foreign threads
