[not-a-bug] Some Feedback about mio HOT 2 CLOSED

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, it's definitely a work in progress.

Docs are being worked on (see mio book and doc branch).

The main mio callback is the handler, which does provide a ref to the EventLoop (see here]. You would have to pass the pointer whenever you need it from there.

Regarding the flow, this definitely needs to be documented better. One thing to keep in mind is that mio has a goal to be very close to the metal. There are no allocations at all between the mio API and the epoll API. This drove the Token based approach. The way I thought about it, it would be used in conjuction with Slab which could hold the state w/ token based lookup.

I have plans for a much higher level and more ergonomic IO lib on top of mio using a future / stream based approach. I'm working on the futures (and soon streams) in a syncbox, a different lib. So eventually thing swill be a lot easier.

Anyway, let me know if there are any other questions.

The MIO book is pretty awesome. Thanks a lot, people.
