Non-blocking(event driven I/O) vs. blocking I/O?

Tcl had event driven I/O from the 1990's (if I'm not mistaken). Certainly before 2000 because it was when tclhttpd beat Apache in benchmark tests sometime in 2000 that people really started paying attention to non-blocking I/O. When people saw that, they started re-writing web servers.

One of the early result of that was Lighttpd: one of the first non-blocking web servers written in C. At that time, using event-driven I/O in tcl via the fileevent command was already considered standard practice in the tcl world.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
