uSockets Backend for V-Hono

High-performance server backend using uSockets library.

Performance

Based on benchmark tests (200 connections, 100K requests):

Backend	RPS	Avg Latency	P95	P99
uSockets	~22,000	8.75ms	16.66ms	25.73ms
picoev	~15,000	13.36ms	18.89ms	31.66ms

uSockets provides ~50% higher throughput under high concurrency.

Usage

import hono

fn main() {
    mut app := hono.Hono.new()
    
    app.get('/', fn (mut c hono.Context) http.Response {
        return c.text('Hello from uSockets!')
    })
    
    // Use uSockets backend
    app.listen_usockets(3000)
}

Build Command

v -enable-globals -cc gcc -ldflags "-ldbghelp" your_app.v -o app.exe

Required flags:

-enable-globals - Required for uSockets global state
-cc gcc - Use GCC compiler (MinGW-w64 on Windows)
-ldflags "-ldbghelp" - Fix Windows linking (Windows only)

Prerequisites (Windows)

GCC (MinGW-w64)

scoop install mingw
# or
choco install mingw

V Compiler (0.4.x or later)
```
scoop install vlang
```

Configuration

// Custom configuration
app.listen_usockets_with_config(hono.UsocketsConfig{
    port: 8080
    host: '0.0.0.0'
    keepalive_timeout: 30
    max_keepalive_req: 10000
})

Notes

On Windows, uSockets and picoev have similar performance
On Linux, uSockets may have greater advantages due to epoll optimization
uSockets excels under high concurrency (200+ connections)
