Instead of rearming from within the callback, this enables the callback before the event loop is run and before the kqueue is cleared. This at least heavily reduces the cases where the CFRunLoop hangs instead of reporting a pending kqueue event. For this reason, the safety timeout has been increased to 5 seconds. |

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.
The API documentation is part of vibe.d:
