Mongrel2 has some great ideas behind it, but it just doesn't seem to be able to generate any momentum in uptake or community "buzz".
I think it may be solving problems which just aren't big enough for most people to warrant the switch in their technology stack. HTTP proxying and text config files work "good enough". Maybe everyone else is like me, and waiting for feedback from some big deployments in order to see how it all works in practice.
- mvzink 15y agoIronically, your comment just inspired me to try out Mongrel2. Even during its initial buzz, I never looked into Mongrel2 at all because I simply had no need for a new web server. Well, after finally looking at it... it looks fricking sweet and I can't wait to play around with it.
- batista 15y agoActually, it solves quite big problems, people are using Node, Tornado etc for nowadays, and it also uses them in a uniform way with more traditional problems, and with far more flexibility and agnosticity (language, network, etc). The problem is it doesn't have enough "marketing" behind it, for many reasons: it's not dead easy to setup yet, it doesn't use a language du jour like Javascript, it's not related to Rails...
