Event loops needs to be thread local not per process.
So many API's such as WinAPI for e.g. GUI's have this requirement in
it that its just not worth fighting over.
It is implementation detail. You can have global event loop and
internally distribute work between per-thread event loops - only event
callbacks defined within existing task need to be bound to same worker
thread. From the developer convenience PoV scheduler / event loop
abstraction has to be process-global, I wouldn't consider anything else.
If you do it per process, it sounds rather messy with synchronization ext.
