It takes a fair bit of effort to call into the epoll system in a sane and safe manner from Rust. It's more than just slapping a thin "unsafe-Rust" wrapper on the C epoll API. Or at least it is in anything but, say, a toy rust-equivalent of the man-page entry examples for epoll.


That's fair, but the complaint seems to be epoll not being possible at all, rather than it being annoying to call. (Obviously the latter is important, but the former shows a possible deeper misunderstanding of the language.)


It also takes a fair bit of effort to call into epoll from C in a safe manner, though.


Much less than from any FFI.
