Hi Ricardo, this isn't really an "issue", just a question we have so feel free to close it. But, is there a plan to switch rust-utp to mio? I assume it would be a lot of rewrite, both, internally and also to the external API. Or do you think it would make more sense to start from scratch with a new library?

Hi Peter!

I'm currently testing a partial rewrite with mio. I don't think starting from scratch is necessarily better or even needed, since most of the code in master can be used with relatively minor changes.

I can't give any estimates, but suffice it to say that the rewrite is going well (apart from the occasional subtle annoyances that come with locking primitives).

In short: yes, there is a plan to switch to mio, and it's currently under way.

Do you have any update on this Ricardo, it seems a good step to increase efficiency.
