Description: libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev.html) is high performance event loop library helps handling large number of concurrent connections and sources of async events. It has been used for a long time as networking library of Node.js. To be used in Pharo suitable interface in image and quite possibly in VM would be needed.
...
Benefits to the Community: Having efficient event driven library available in Smalltalk would open possibility of writing efficient servers in Smalltalk that can handle large number of concurrent connections.
Having an efficient event loop would give us a great tool to handle concurrent connections in a evented manner. Doing those with blocks and objects will be a pleasure. But please consider Node.js is using libuv now (https://github.com/joyent/libuv), as a common layer for most platforms.
