I've been looking pretty extensively at these two items recently.
If the database drivers are compatible with Vibe.d AND we wish to
provide a common abstraction layer for them (presumably via Phobos)
then order for the abstraction layer to aware of the whether the
driver is making a blocking or non-blocking call we must include
Vibe.D in the abstraction layer. Ergo, we must include at least the
vibe-core package in Phobos, or more preferably, DRT.
I had heard noises about that a few months ago. Anything happening on
that front?
An event loop is a key piece of a project (Async/Await) that I want to
work on, and having it in DRuntime would make that project
fantastically simpler. IMHO, the bulk of the time required is in
getting an event loop into DRT, the rest is a LOT of relatively
straightforward compiler lowering.
IMHO, DRT is in significant need of an event loop system. This would
allow us to simplify a large number of problems (Async/Await, GUI's,
IO, etc). As near as I can tell, the problem isn't so much doing the
work, but getting the required sign-off's for inclusion into DRT.
Another problem that I've been made aware of is that vibe-core may not
be ideal in certain situations. As this would be landed in DRT itself
this would obviously need to be addressed.
What would the appetite be for working together to come up with a
reasonably generic event loop for DRT that vibe and other systems
could then leverage?

You've mentioned it a few times. ;-)
