This is really just archaic *nix world problems; the NT kernel has had actual asynchronous I/O since inception -- even 30 years later, io_uring is mere batching to the kernel upper-half (and is a carbon-copy, down to the particular terminology, of RIO)

Your phrasing here suggests the NT kernel can/does have API’s that reach further down, is that correct, or am I reading too deeply? Haha
