Hi Danny, As Twisted is offered under a MIT license, you can legally port it without worry. However, I am not sure about the usefulness of it — part of the greatness of Twisted is that you can do all this low-level networking in a language that is completely portable, understandable, and “safe” — a C++ port would kind of defeat most of these, and would likely offer no benefits over existing event loop-using solutions in C++, such as libuv. -hawkie
