turnloop
Embeddable, cross-platform event-loop driver that the host turns: bounded turn(), completion-shaped I/O on epoll, kqueue, IOCP, WASI and the web.

Could you build this?
No turnloop is a low-level systems programming library implementing cross-platform asynchronous event loops across epoll, kqueue, IOCP, and WASI. Writing robust, safe, lock-free, or completion-based low-level OS I/O abstractions requires deep systems engineering expertise and edge-case handling across OS kernels.
What it would actually take: To build an embeddable event loop like turnloop or libuv, an engineer must write low-level C or Rust code interfacing directly with platform syscalls (Linux epoll/io_uring, BSD/macOS kqueue, Windows IOCP, WASI poll_oneoff). The core difficulty lies in unifying divergent operational semantics (readiness vs completion-based I/O), memory management, thread-safety, and precise timing/polling behaviors across diverse operating systems.
