I second cqueues, it is a great library that provides a full
non-blocking environment for networking (using coroutines and
kqueue/epoll), but note that it is POSIX only.
For something smaller in scope and features, I implemented a Lua wrapper
[1] around the socket99 C library [2], it provides a nice API to sockets
(POSIX-only too)
