About:
Libdill is a C library for structured concurrency that allows you to write asynchronous code in a synchronous style. It provides coroutines, channels, and other concurrency primitives that help manage complex concurrent operations. The library focuses on correctness and simplicity, making it easier to build reliable concurrent applications.

Key Features:

Structured concurrency with coroutines
Channel-based communication
Deterministic cleanup and error handling
No callback hell - synchronous-style async code
Lightweight and efficient

Use Cases:

Building high-performance network servers
Concurrent data processing pipelines
Asynchronous I/O operations
State machine implementations

Alternatives:

libuv – Lower-level event loop library, requires manual async management
libevent – Callback-based approach, less structured than Libdill's coroutines
Boost.Asio – C++ library with similar goals but requires C++
