I don't think that really counts as competing, but I was planning at
some point in the future to write a thin Ada binding to libevent2 -- not
so much for performance, which is only a happy side-effect, but for the
simplicity and homogeneity of the callback-based multiplexing it offers.
However I still feel the need for a better mastery of the language
before starting such a project.

Does anyone have any objection to such an idea?

Or would anyone have any hint I could use for such a thin binding,
and/or for thickening it?


Thanks in advance,
Natasha
