I’ve been enjoying the rust compio library lately which abstracts over io_uring on Linux. And IOCP and friends on windows. And it falls back to kqueue on macOS and presumably FreeBSD.

It’s wonderful being able to write straightforward code that works fast on every platform with no code changes.

I guess the strength of rust (and zig for now) is that the community has a chance to explore lots of different ways to solve these problems. And the corresponding weakness is that everyone uses different libraries, so it’s a fragmented ecosystem full of libraries that may or may not work together properly.
