 `gnet` is an event-driven networking framework that is ultra-fast and lightweight. It is built from scratch by exploiting [epoll](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/epoll.7.html) and [kqueue](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kqueue) and it can achieve much higher performance with lower memory consumption than Go [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/) in many specific scenarios.
 
-`gnet` and [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/) don't share the same philosophy about network programming. Thus, building network applications with `gnet` can be significantly different from building them with [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/), and the philosophies can't be reconciled. There are other similar products written in other programming languages in the community, such as [libuv](https://github.com/libuv/libuv), [netty](https://github.com/netty/netty), [twisted](https://github.com/twisted/twisted), [tornado](https://github.com/tornadoweb/tornado), etc. which work in a similar pattern as `gnet` under the hood.

 `gnet` is not designed to displace the Go [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/), but to create an alternative in the Go ecosystem for building performance-critical network services. As a result of which, `gnet` is not as comprehensive as Go [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/), it provides only the core functionality (via a concise set of APIs) required by a network application and it doesn't plan on becoming a coverall networking framework, as I think Go [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/) has done a good enough job in that area.

 `gnet` 是一个基于事件驱动的高性能和轻量级网络框架。这个框架是基于 [epoll](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoll) 和 [kqueue](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kqueue) 从零开发的，而且相比 Go [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/)，它能以更低的内存占用实现更高的性能。
 
-`gnet` 和 [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/) 有着不一样的网络编程模式。因此，用 `gnet` 开发网络应用和用 [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/) 开发区别很大，而且两者之间不可调和。社区里有其他同类的产品像是 [libuv](https://github.com/libuv/libuv), [netty](https://github.com/netty/netty), [twisted](https://github.com/twisted/twisted), [tornado](https://github.com/tornadoweb/tornado)，`gnet` 的底层工作原理和这些框架非常类似。

 `gnet` 不是为了取代 [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/) 而生的，而是在 Go 生态中为开发者提供一个开发性能敏感的网络服务的替代品。也正因如此，`gnet` 在功能全面性上比不了 Go [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/)，它只会提供网络应用所需的最核心的功能和最精简的 APIs，而且 `gnet` 也并没有打算变成一个无所不包的网络框架，因为我觉得 Go [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/) 在这方面已经做得足够好了。
