Hi people!

Bodo, one link I read:

http://blog.mixu.net/2011/02/01/understanding-the-node-js-event-loop/

But now, node.js is based on libuv, instead of libev:

https://github.com/joyent/libuv

Excellent resource:

Background <http://nikhilm.github.com/uvbook/introduction.html#background>

The node.js <http://www.nodejs.org/> project began in 2009 as a JavaScript
environment decoupled from the browser. Using Google’s
V8<http://code.google.com/p/v8/> and
Marc Lehmann’s libev <http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev.html>, node.js
combined a model of I/O – evented – with a language that was well suited to
the style of programming; due to the way it had been shaped by browsers. As
node.js grew in popularity, it was important to make it work on Windows,
but libev ran only on Unix. The Windows equivalent of kernel event
notification mechanisms like kqueue or (e)poll is IOCP. libuv is an
abstraction around libev or IOCP depending on the platform, providing users
an API based on libev. As of the node-v0.9.0 version of libuv, libev has
been removed <https://github.com/joyent/libuv/issues/485> and libuv
directly interfaces with Unix.
