Hello,
I have a standalone (i.e. not integrated into the RTS yet) proof of concept working using kqueue. However, to be portable we still need to fall back to select on systems that don't support anything better. This implies that if you want to write portable code you still suffer from this limit.
If portability is important, how about falling back to poll(), not epoll()?
We could provide poll as a possible backend but I don't think it's available on Windows. -- Johan
