LibPhenom, a high-performance C eventing framework from Facebook

Does anyone know how this compares to the standard libevent or the quirky allegedly faster libev (<a href="http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;software.schmorp.de&#x2F;pkg&#x2F;libev.html</a>)?

Why is it every framework handling run loops or communication makes its own implementation of printf? While printf is ubiquitous, I&#x27;d hardly call its semantics or syntax perfect. Why does everyone have to copy the same mistakes over and over again?

Can someone explain what eventing frameworks are used for? Are they related to event messaging or processing frameworks?

How does this compare to libdispatch (<a href="https://libdispatch.macosforge.org/" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;libdispatch.macosforge.org&#x2F;</a>) in functionality and performance? I&#x27;m very interested in this.

Looks very promising! It would really help the adoption of such new projects if there was a bit more effort to present the current status as well as a roadmap. libphenom strives to be a core component for server applications. It also has to compete with similar Open Source projects that have been around for a while, with well known strengths and limitations. A more clear statement of its current status (is it used in production for Facebook? is it in beta? are there known caveats?) as well as the future goals would help to build confidence in the project.

Nice to see Concurrency Kit here. I wonder if they should have extended&#x2F;patched libuv though.
