Windows has completion ports (IOCP), which are much better.

At least finally Linux is also getting completion based IO with io_uring.

Seems windows is getting ring buffers based io too, eventually: https://windows-internals.com/i-o-rings-when-one-i-o-operati...

Not identical to io_uring, but close enough that porting between them will probably be quite simple.

Sure, the ring buffer part of also useful.

The competition triggered part is what was already there.
