Show HN: Yet another "my first open-source project" thread. Feedback, please?
I must say I was encouraged to post my project here when I saw the positive response to this post: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3780731
Before you make any comments, please keep in mind that the project is written for fun. I'm not forcing anyone to use it. In fact, nobody should use the current unstable version in a serious project.

Please share your thoughts. All criticisms are welcome, even the harsh ones.
p.s. The project is still a work-in-progress. Note for those who do not know, Tcl already provides the ability to do cross platform non-blocking TCP servers. Look at the Tcl "socket" command. Very basic file server in 8 lines: http://wiki.tcl.tk/23621 Simple HTTP server in a page of code: http://wiki.tcl.tk/4333 Wow - I will use this so much. Thanks for writing this. I suspect you won't get as many responses to this as it's C, not Node.JS or Ruby, but I will find this very useful. Thanks for commenting. I really appreciate your interest. Please keep in mind that the project has not been tested thoroughly yet and may fail badly in an unexpected way. That's cool. I won't use it straight away anyway, but will definitely be useful in the future. Clickable: http://github.com/bsg/libserv Good work. Have you seen libevent, perhaps you can borrow some ideas. Thank you. Yes, I have already seen libevent. In fact, it was of great help to me when I was trying to learn about select/epoll/kqueue etc.
