I'm happy about this, having experienced the problems they described in the introduction. I actually find it kinda puzzling how much praise kqueue gets since the EVFILT_VNODE is in particular so underpowered compared to the alternatives, so glad to see full inotify coming there.
They reference fanotify in linux there too, i didn't know about that one, here's the man page for more info: https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/fanotify.7.html my impression is inotify is good enough for me though and this adds more complication and less platform compat so meh but still interesting to know it is there.
