Rails is released under the MIT license, Stanley. It's been open-source for a long time. Fork them and make whatever improvements you want and start a push request.
Instead of complain about how slow it is, why not attempt making an "evented" version of Rails? Enable thread-safety for Rails to get a speedy application, even on a shared server.
Frankly, I can't write code for EventMachine. Just looking at its style makes me cringe: there's just something about the design of EM apps that I can't compromise with (and it ain't the fact that it's evented).
- igrigorik 16y agoYep, here's the async activerecord mysql driver: http://www.igvita.com/2010/04/15/non-blocking-activerecord-rails/ http://www.igvita.com/2010/04/15/non-blocking-activerecord-r... It's a start.
- stanleydrew 16y agoSweet. Checking this out now.
- stanleydrew 16y agoThis completely misses the point of what I wrote. I didn't complain about how slow Rails is. The original post does. I'm saying that we could all use some help in improving Rails performance so why not release Goliath as open-source? Sounds like that is in the pipeline though based on other comments in this thread.
