This is a fantastic post, and I definitely jive with his opinions. Note that the title to the post is quite misleading, and it's more about the general state of affairs in regard to the async / process / thread debate. I was @ OSCON and watched Ilya's presentation. It was very well done, but one of his slides was a bit too objective to Unicorn. Eric has done a fantastic job on the software, and there "are" reasons to use it (Rainbows! as well). Like Zed & Jacquem's discussions on poll vs epoll, I think Zed did a great job @ stating the obvious... use the right tool for the right job. The same applies here.
