The Status Quo

Why does almost everything sucks?

1. Why can't I easily subscribe to a process' events? This shit should be as easy as:

proc_subscribe($pid, SIGINT, $handler);

Then my process would be notified if process with $pid gets a SIGINT signal.

2. Why can't a process blocking on a socket also process incoming signals? Why do UNIX culture insists on in-band signaling?

3. <insert your own>

3. not everything is written in LISP

Boo hoo, I don't like it when POSIX doesn't let me do something that would clearly open up a shit ton of holes.
