To be fair it should be considered that within the kernel space event driven architectures are already ubiquitous though. I/O, filesystem, you name it. Including powerful multiplexing and dispatch frameworks.

I'd rather see this as a way to ingest performance critical code pieces into the kernel space more easily, with virtualization and verification options providing safety within an otherwise dangerous/complicated domain.

I would not agree with the article that this kind of paradigm is new - neither inside not outside of kernel land.

Agree, it's not new, and I think GP's point is that event-driven is the norm for the kernel and why kernel-level interfaces are efficient.

What's new here is that this is being made available to user-level custom applications.
