actually, nothing special about this implementation. just another event loop written in rust for educational purposes and joy

in tests it shows seamless migration from uvloop for my scraping framework https://github.com/BitingSnakes/silkworm

with APIs (fastapi) it shows only one advantage: better p99, uvloop is faster about 10-20% in the synthetic run

currently, i am forking on the win branch to give it windows support that uvloop lacks

when i was building silkworm, unability of uvloop to support Windows was a problem for me, so i added winloop

btw, they seem to be included into uvloop: https://github.com/Vizonex/Winloop/commit/317873329143e8cf82...
