This enables efficient integration of the kqueue based I/O processing with Apple OS based UI apps. On top of that, an FSEvent based directory watcher can now be implemented to replace the inefficient generic watcher that is used on macOS right now. |

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:

Open questions
- Error code reporting
- Enqueued writes
- Use the type system to prohibit passing thread-local handles to foreign threads
