Vibe is a single-header C library providing a high-performance, lock-free networking framework for Linux using epoll and MPSC queues. It offers a clean, event-driven API for TCP and Unix socket messaging with features like refcounted broadcasts and built-in backpressure, making it interesting for embedded or low-level systems where minimal dependencies and predictable latency matter.
