Windows 💝 NIO

One of the other cool things is that the new work also enables - the possibility of having NIO backed by alternate networking stacks - perhaps an option to back swift-nio by lwIP ?

I think it'll be really great to see a new partner to swift-nio-transport-services in the "alternate networking backends". Especially as we move to a world envisioned in On the road to Swift 6 of Swift running in a wide range of environments, ensuring that NIO can run in those environments gives the Swift ecosystem enormous value. In particular I'm interested in environments further away from the traditional Unix space: while the various Windows options are one, I'm also keeping one eye on WASM as an environment too!
