  Mongrel2 may be enjoying some popularity because Zed wrote it, but Zed isn't a celebrity for no reason. Mongrel was a pretty damn good idea. He's also written interesting articles on his design decisions to come this far, and explained himself quite thoroughly. I think a lot of the HN community is eager to see where this goes. Nothing is a solved problem in this industry. Look at the way the web has changed in the last 5 years. I think it's time to take a good hard look at what we use webservers for, and admit that Apache doesn't support a lot of common use cases very well.

  1. It's a slow Sunday, go outside. 2. There are not millions of web servers, unless you mean deployed then there are way more than millions. 3. You're right, the only reason anyone cares is because I wrote it. Just move along and don't go use it. Nothing for you here. 4. You're right, this being on HN is absolutely stupid. But hey, people try to have lives any way they can.
