Which is cross-platform AFAIK, but a big dependency. It would be cool
if there were a portable async I/O Lua binding which IUP could use.
I've experimented with a binding to Linux AIO, with mixed results.
Win32 API provides similar features. In an ideal world, we could use
coroutines with non-blocking i/o to do just about anything that would
normally be done with threading, e.g. a generalization of the Copas
concept. (My AIO binding started as an attempt to pull in otherwise
blocking i/o (like console input or pipes) into a Copas server - this
did work)
