Re: [Mojolicious] Mojo::Reactor

[Dan Book]

The reactor is essentially an abstract class for low level event loop
implementations, stripped to the functionality that each implementation can
implement differently. They don't do anything except watch filehandles and
set timers, start and stop, and run callbacks when something happens while
running. Mojo::IOLoop is the user interface that can decide what reactor
implementation to use, implements the singleton that different parts of the
process can hook into, and implements higher level abstractions like
streams, clients, and servers.

[Mojolicious] Mojo::Reactor

[Stefan Adams]

There's a current PR for addressing an issue regarding Mojo::Reactor. I
feel like I have a good understanding of all the parts of Mojolicious,
except Mojo::Reactor. I simply do not understand it at all. My confusion is
increased by the similarity with Mojo::IOLoop. Much of the docs make use of
IOLoop modules but I can't think of an example that uses Reactor.

Can anyone provide some insight into this module, what it's for, and how
and why it's different from IOLoop?
