Rarely Asked Questions

• Q: Why are you not writing the base library Sans-IO? It's the fashion!

  A: Because i'm only going to use this with Asio. I don't mind having state-machine logic inside an Asio composed operation rather than something custom. I believe the only reason people are doing this Sans-IO stuff is for unit tests. They don't actually have to open a socket. But really people are only going to use those libs with Asio.
