Libuv Alternatives

libuv reviews and mentions

• Node.js vs. Python: How to choose the best technology to develop your backend
  15 projects | dev.to | 8 Jun 2022

  Node.js is single-threaded, non-blocking, and implements an event-driven architecture. It has a single thread where all code you write and the libraries you use executes. It also makes use of other threads that the libuv C library provides to handle expensive or long-running tasks.

• Go Vs Nodejs in terms of Http server performance. Who delivers the higher number of concurrent requests?
  1 project | reddit.com/r/node | 22 Mar 2022

  In terms of requests you talk about libuv is C++ https://libuv.org which is build-in to node and can be used in Go as well. So there is literally no reason to compare them on a this basis.

  There are just enough differences between musl and glibc to be confusing, e.g. https://github.com/libuv/libuv/issues/2225

• When did Windows start letting you open ISOs without mounting them as a CD first???
  1 project | reddit.com/r/sysadmin | 1 Mar 2022

  I just upgraded to Win10 a few months ago, mostly because libuv maintainers are pricks and once they broke it, every dependent software (which is "almost everything") suddenly didn't support Win7 either.

• Node.js Roadmap for Beginners
  1 project | dev.to | 20 Feb 2022

  Node.js is using a C library called libuv to implement the Event Loop. I think every developer should also know about it and have a basic understanding about this difference to avoid some mistakes in future.

• Is IO async?
  1 project | reddit.com/r/rakulang | 21 Jan 2022

  Having said that, know that MoarVM is using the libuv library for its IO needs. And my understanding is that its IO is asynchronous.

• Non blocking write to a file
  3 projects | reddit.com/r/C_Programming | 3 Jan 2022

  If you want real non-blocking IO, the C standard library doesn't support this and the OS-specific APIs tend to be difficult to use (and non-portable), so I would recommend something like libuv.

• Ask HN: Where are the resources for complex architectures for Node.js?

  My biggest pointer would be to remember that Java & JavaScript aren't named that way by coincidence. They're two different approaches to a similar problem. Java suffers from Enterprise Development (eg: Enterprise FizzBuzz[0]), JavaScript suffers from Ultimate Accessibility (eg: how many questions on Stack Overflow conflated jQuery and JS?).

  > How should exceptions be managed? [...] Has there been a debate about best practice? Where can I find it?

  I suggest you handle the errors you can and otherwise let it crash.[1][2] Debates in NodeJS-land have steered towards more monadic/Result-like structures and working synchronous-looking try/catch onto async/await. NodeJS and its various components are open source, you'll have a lot of luck looking around on GH for issues & PRs related to a feature -- same for the language, ECMAScript[3] officially.[4]

  Since you mentioned Clojure, have you looked at ClojureScript?[5] That may be a good entry to JS authors & articles you'd enjoy.

  > I have the impression that NodeJS is a bit more magical than the JVM [...] Is that correct? Where are good resources on this subject?

  As other replies have mentioned, you're really talking about V8[6] for the "JSVM" executing that code. A thing I've seen throw some people for a loop is how minimalist the specification actually is.[7] The magic in NodeJS is certainly from V8 and the rate of optimizations there but also libuv,[8] what actually powers the infamous event loop.

  Hope that helps!

• Introduction to NodeJS

  Node uses Libuv as the event loop implementation. To use a Node asynchronous API, you pass a callback function as an argument to that API function, and during the event loop, your callback is executed.

• io_uring based networking in prod experience

  We don't use Rust (yet) for this service, but the tokio design doc is a great read with links to other art/impl, and libuv's issue/PR about it were all great helps in "crossing into gain" territory.
