Remove kgio and unicorn (and kcar) as dependencies. kgio should not be necessary for Ruby 2.3 users, and I'd rather not depend on Ragel or C any longer.
In retrospect, I think my decision to start kgio removed enough impetus from improving non-blocking I/O in Ruby that Ruby was set back several years because of it. I think the only thing we really need C extensions for is epoll/kqueue; and that might even be reasonably done with fiddle nowadays (or ffi) since kernel ABIs are guaranteed to be stable. Dunno what the timeline would be, but this is definitely a long-term plan. I've actually been enjoying Danga::Socket in Perl5 land which uses Sys::Syscall under Linux. -- unsubscribe: [email protected] archive: https://yhbt.net/yahns-public/
