Introduction

NIO is non-blocking i/o (with cffi) for CL. Non-blocking I/O allows faster serving of e.g. web pages, see http://www.kegel.com/c10k.html.

There's a trac available at http://trac.common-lisp.net/nio.

News

Status

NIO-HTTPD is a example http server which currently serves (hardcoded) static / dynamic pages. It works at least with OpenMCL / Mac OS X and SBCL / Linux 2.6.
