I can't say that I prefer in-browser chats, but I can appreciate the complexity of the solution. Scalability is the new manual memory management. I can't help but think that somebody's going to come up with the scalability equivalent of a garbage collector and make our lives a lot easier.

  i think instant scalability will come from an application server, something like glassfish for example deploy your application to glassfish and let your AS scale it

  Erlang still has a lot of warts. Just wait until we have cheap threads in the JVM.
