That's pleasing to hear, although I'm pretty sure Facebook is far from
being the only organization who will benefit from this ;)
Who doesn't need something like this?

Thanks for the invitation, I'll start working on a phobos fork with this
added into std.async and re-licensed to Boost. Would that be an
appropriate namespace?
I still have to try out the library, but I'd like to see that.
One thing that always bothers me with async libraries is that now every
IO class has it async cousin, so there is Socket and AsyncSocket,
resolveDNS and asyncResolveDNS.
With Fibers and a Scheduler it's actually possible to present the same
API to asynchronous and synchronous code. I'd really like to see this at
some point, but a cross-platform event loop in phobos is a great first step.
