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: http://nikhilm.github.com/uvbook/ >From http://nikhilm.github.com/uvbook/introduction.html#who-this-book-is-for 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.
