For another example of using event ports (this time for an echo server), see:

An asynchronous event-port driven model is precisely where most program interfaces seem to be moving.
I’m working on a cross-platform event port driven library, and I will certainly be adding support for this interface.
You can view the interface I’ve designed here:

Bascule:
For Win32 are you just wrapping IOCOmpletionPorts?
For Unix are you using the /dev/poll device?

Is that a quote from the press release or are OS News using a made up word “performant”. No definition for this word exists in the 3 dictionaries i tried online and the fourth had a definition of such a word claiming it meant “a performer” as in a street performer.
Ahh, web journalism.
There are a few dictionaries you can find it … but they are for French or for German …
Turns out I picked this word up from the French …..
