Description
Could uvloop be implemented using CFFI? How hard would it be to do so?
I ask because at some point in the future PyPy3 will reach compatibility with Python 3.5 (It could be a while, but PyPy3 3.3 is in alpha right now so there is hope :-) and it would be really great if uvloop were usable on it :-)
