No mention of Novell Netware. This was a solved problem decades ago and Windows had it for almost as long.
The next decade will be a proliferation of hackers having fun with io_uring coming up with all sorts of patterns.

Solved at the OS layer, sure. This article is about solving it at the language layer.
It's been solved for a long time at the OS layer. I mean, didn't VAX have something like overlapped IO in 1980? Unix had asynchronous IO as well with `select`.
