I'd like to see a typical examples of asynchronous I/O using std.Io.Reader .Writer. Especially a simple echo server and client sever on TCP.

There are no "typical" examples because it's a work in progress.
There's Andrew's talk that demos how it is designed to work

Last i checked the reader/writers were in the middle of being moved, so half of them didnt use the new io while the other half did

You can see example echo server here:

it's running on my coroutine engine, but you can simply swap the io instance for Io.Threaded and it will work the same.
