Understanding libuv’s Design: A Deep Dive into Its Event Loop and Cross‑Platform Architecture

libuv is a cross‑platform asynchronous I/O library originally built for Node.js that abstracts event‑driven I/O via handles and requests, provides a single‑threaded event loop with platform‑specific poll mechanisms, and uses a global thread pool for file and DNS operations, all while maintaining a consistent execution model.
