epoll

epoll, is it the epitome of all that is wrong with autism bare nothing right at all?
Can you name any project using epoll, having no issues at all with it?
What's your stance on computer science, common sense and taste versus ""good" enough" unix circle jerks?

It's not an INPUT OUTPUT COMPLETION PORT.

It is a bit inelegant to have to do another round trip through the kernel to send / recv / whatever after epoll returns, since obviously the kernel already has all the data you asked for at that point. In practice, though, I'm not sure it matters very much - the Unix cultural resistance to async I/O probably counts for more.
