Have you already started working on std.net.event? Do you plan to base
that on libev / libevent?
I'll finish the curl wrapper before starting on it.
I have had a look at libev/event before and they are very nice libs. But
I think I'll have to implement it from scratch for two reasons:
1, AFAIK we cannot include code in std phobos that is not boost licensed
or a license as liberal. libev for example requires you to distribute
the license with your software.
2, It introduces a dependency to an external project in phobos.
Currently no dependencies are present. This makes phobos very easy to
install and use out of the box.
The optimal solution to these problems from my point of view would be to
get that "much discussed" package tool in place soon (CPAN,apt alike).
Heck, now I think about it maybe I should do that before any std.net
stuff. Let's see how the wind blows - many interesting projects :)
Good!
Last year, I tried to implement std.event. In Windows, using IOCP with
Overlapped-IO for proactor.
Others, IO multiplexing with worker-thread for proactor emulation.
But Johannes already started implementing event module using libev,
so I deleted this task from my tasks.
My pending projects need event module. I expect your efforts!

P.S.
cURL wrapper is nice. I wait this :)
