I think clock and timer functions should be contained in a library, which has
a main loop. Unless you need them for devices or other library functions,
do you? You seems to have main loop in libzapi, not libzutil.

BTW, whats relationship between libzapi and libzutil?

Most languages has their own thread creation API. Doesn't this would
conflict with languages' threads on any platforms?

I don't understand what this means. Is it LRU broker or some helper
for building custom broker?
