It is exactly Microsoft that added async keywords to C#. So they know that UMS does not cover all their needs. Plus various Linux servers with long-term support (32 bit RedHat 5 is alive and kicking...) make sure that the need for scalable IO without UMS will exist for a long time even if UMS will be available with the latest kernels. It also interesting that both MS documentation and that Google video talk emphases on compatibility with existing applications and tools and I doubt that one can both compatibility and optimal performance. _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
