Socket - handling large numbers of incoming connections

[Jakob Jenkov via Digitalmars-d-learn]

Thanks, everyone, I have looked a bit at different frameworks, 
and it seems that libasync might have a decently narrow scope to 
fit what I need.

I have a background in Java, so a lot of this OS-specific stuff 
is new to me (EPoll etc.). In Java that stuff is used under the 
hood for you, without you knowing anything about it. Java just 
chooses the best option for the given OS. This is easy to use, 
but of course gives you less control.
