 # 📖 Introduction
 
-`gnet` is an event-driven networking framework that is fast and lightweight. It makes direct [epoll](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoll) and [kqueue](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kqueue) syscalls rather than using the standard Go [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/) package and works in a similar manner as [netty](https://github.com/netty/netty) and [libuv](https://github.com/libuv/libuv), which makes `gnet` achieve a much higher performance than Go [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/).
+`gnet` is an event-driven networking framework that is ultra-fast and lightweight. It is built from scratch by exploiting [epoll](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/epoll.7.html) and [kqueue](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kqueue) and it can achieve much higher performance with lower memory consumption than Go [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/) in many specific scenarios.
+
+`gnet` and [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/) don't share the same philosophy about network programming. Thus, building network applications with `gnet` can be significantly different from building them with [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/), and the philosophies can't be harmonized. There are other similar products written in other programming languages in the community, such as [libevent](https://github.com/libevent/libevent), [libuv](https://github.com/libuv/libuv), [netty](https://github.com/netty/netty), [twisted](https://github.com/twisted/twisted), [tornado](https://github.com/tornadoweb/tornado), etc. which work in a similar pattern as `gnet` under the hood.
 
-`gnet` is not designed to displace the standard Go [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/) package, but to create a networking client/server framework for Go that performs on par with [Redis](http://redis.io) and [Haproxy](http://www.haproxy.org) for networking packets handling (although it does not limit itself to these areas), therefore, `gnet` is not as comprehensive as Go [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/), it only provides the core functionalities (by a concise API set) of a networking application and it is not planned on being a full-featured networking framework, as I think [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/) has done a good enough job in this area.
+`gnet` is not designed to displace the Go [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/), but to create an alternative in the Go ecosystem for building performance-critical network services. As a result of which, `gnet` is not as comprehensive as Go [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/), it provides only the core functionalities (in a concise API set) required by a network application and it is not planned on being a coverall networking framework, as I think [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/) has done a good enough job in that area.
 
-`gnet` sells itself as a high-performance, lightweight, non-blocking, event-driven networking framework written in pure Go which works on the transport layer with TCP/UDP protocols and Unix Domain Socket, so it allows developers to implement their own protocols(HTTP, RPC, WebSocket, Redis, etc.) of application layer upon `gnet` for building diversified network applications, for instance, you get an HTTP Server or Web Framework if you implement HTTP protocol upon `gnet` while you have a Redis Server done with the implementation of Redis protocol upon `gnet` and so on.

 # 📖 简介
 
-`gnet` 是一个基于事件驱动的高性能和轻量级网络框架。它直接使用 [epoll](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoll) 和 [kqueue](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kqueue) 系统调用而非标准 Go 网络包：[net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/) 来构建网络应用，它的工作原理类似两个开源的网络库：[netty](https://github.com/netty/netty) 和 [libuv](https://github.com/libuv/libuv)，这也使得 `gnet` 达到了一个远超 Go [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/) 的性能表现。
+`gnet` 是一个基于事件驱动的高性能和轻量级网络框架。这个框架是基于 [epoll](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoll) 和 [kqueue](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kqueue) 从零开发的，而且相比 Go [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/)，它能以更低的内存占用实现更高的性能。
+
+`gnet` 和 [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/) 有着不一样的网络编程模式。因此，用 `gnet` 开发网络应用和用 [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/) 开发区别很大，而且两者之间不可调和。社区里有其他同类的产品像是 [libevent](https://github.com/libevent/libevent), [libuv](https://github.com/libuv/libuv), [netty](https://github.com/netty/netty), [twisted](https://github.com/twisted/twisted), [tornado](https://github.com/tornadoweb/tornado)，`gnet` 的底层工作原理和这些框架非常类似。
 
-`gnet` 设计开发的初衷不是为了取代 Go 的标准网络库：[net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/)，而是为了创造出一个类似于 [Redis](http://redis.io)、[Haproxy](http://www.haproxy.org) 能高效处理网络包的 Go 语言网络客户端/服务器框架。因此，`gnet` 在功能上的全面性并不如 [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/)，它只提供网络编程中最核心的功能和最精简的 APIs，而且 `gnet` 也并没有打算变成一个全功能、无所不包的网络库，因为我觉得 Go [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/) 在这方面已经做得足够好了。
+`gnet` 不是为了取代 [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/) 而生的，而是在 Go 生态中为开发者提供一个开发性能敏感的网络服务的替代品。也正因如此，`gnet` 在功能全面性上比不了 Go [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/)，它只会提供网络应用所需的最核心的功能和最精简的 APIs，而且 `gnet` 也并没有打算变成一个无所不包的网络框架，因为我觉得 Go [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/) 在这方面已经做得足够好了。
 
-`gnet` 的卖点在于它是一个高性能、轻量级、非阻塞的纯 Go 实现的传输层（TCP/UDP/Unix Domain Socket）网络框架，开发者可以使用 `gnet` 来实现自己的应用层网络协议(HTTP、RPC、Redis、WebSocket 等等)，从而构建出自己的应用层网络应用：比如在 `gnet` 上实现 HTTP 协议就可以创建出一个 HTTP 服务器 或者 Web 开发框架，实现 Redis 协议就可以创建出自己的 Redis 服务器等等。

 **`gnet` 衍生自另一个项目：`evio`，但拥有更丰富的功能特性，且性能远胜之。**
