Of course!<p>Well, hyper is a lib for dealing with the HTTP protocol. If being cross platform did not matter, hyper could be build atop of this.<p>I did not go the route of mio because I wanted to learn the entire process of working with epoll by doing it myself. I&#x27;ve learned a lot, and would not have that knowledge if I just built atop of mio. Mio must also provide a unified abstraction across platforms, where I was free to experiment and change at will during the building process.
