+# This repository is abandoned
+
+Please note that this repository is now abandoned. I'm currently working on merging the code into
+[dlib](https://github.com/gecko0307/dlib).
+
+This repository will be kept alive for some time for reference purpose and as a sandbox for new features.
+
+# D event loop
+
+tanya's mission was to provide a GC-free, general purpose library for D programming language for developing servers.
+Since dlib follows similar rules I decided that it would be better to extend and improve an existing library.
+Dlib has some features like containers I can build on without developing everything by myself.
