Depends on how you measure "worth", but in most cases, I'd say somebody needs
to try it before being able to say so. Now, NIO* are specifications, so it
mostly depends on how the libev API would look like in java.
Since java requires manual destruction, the API would probably be an
"objectified C API", as opposed to e.g. the C++ interface which stores
the loop in each watcher to be able to automatically stop watchers. So
basically it would be the normal C API, but with methods. All the
functions thta expect a loop * as first arg would probably beocme loop
methods, and all the rest probably watcher methods.
If you mean particular implementations of NIO*, then of course it depends
on what those do. It's quite possible for NIO to outperform libev, for
example, because it is better-integrated with java - just nobody knows
that until it has been tried :)
