I think the review of std.msgpack is done.
But I will replace MPObject implementation with std.variant before adding  
to Phobos.
Unfortunately, this progress is stopped because This[strng] causes  
compilation error :(

As an aside, I have very interesting ticket in Cassandra ITS.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1735

I think std.event is very important module.
The RPC part of std.msgpack and the interprocess communication of  
std.concurrency require std.event.
IIRC, someone suggested libev and libev wrapper in this ML.
But, I don't know the current status of std.event.

As I've said before, new std.socket doesn't provide select function.

Yeah. Orange is a good candidate for std.serialization as language  
specific serialization.

I agree.
