You seem to work quite heavy with Ruby���s extension mechanism and
experience a good number of corner cases and semi-hidden features (like
the GVL reaquiring thing). When you���re done with your libuv extension,
could you write a blogpost or something like that summing up what you
learned while doing this extension? I know, many things are online in
the ruby-talk archives, but it would be nice if the information could be
centralised at a single place. I���m sure many Ruby developers doing more
complex C extensions would be happy to have this.
Just a suggestion. If you don���t want to, ignore it.
