I've had an opportunity to chat with some people tangentially related to OKC and I think that they have definitely done some very cool stuff. There are some things that the OKWS architecture does very well. As I understand it, there is a bit of "Rails envy" but they seem to copy good ideas very quickly. That being said, I think that if they were to start again, they would try and use commodity technology.
But, these guys are really fucking brilliant and productive. Immensely... I feel like a chump in comparison.

- rubashov 16y agoWell these days writing an http server in C++ is about 30 lines of code using POCO or boost.asio. If your business model was "serve a shit-ton of dynamic requests super cheap" it might make just as much sense as ever to build the whole thing in C++ embedded directly in a C++ webserver.
