Boost.ASIO does that all for you with a convenient interface.
If enabled it even uses io_uring or the Windows' pendant.

Not much use, then.

 
System-level programming is mostly made with C++.

No, it is actually mostly C, with Rust making inroads these days.

And you don’t have to be doing “system-level” programming to be needing
event-driven paradigms.

But functions and classes are not first-class objects in C++, ...

 
Of course, since C++11.

No they aren’t. You cannot easily define a C++ function that returns a
general function or class as a result, just for example.

You cannot define function factories and class factories, like you can
in Python.

 
Python is nothing for me since it is extremely slow.

Remember, we’re talking about maximizing I/O throughput here, so CPU is
not the bottleneck.
