I don't think Stackless is nearly as well-known as it should be. It has a solid value proposition and is blazing fast in my experience as well.

- inklesspen 18y agoStackless is missing some important parts. I've spent a great deal of time working with it over the past few months, and there's no good SSL socket support. The built-in socket module will block the entire process (all tasklets), and while drop-in replacements exist, they either don't work with SSL, are buggy, or both. Stackless also lacks Erlang's transparent support for multi-process and multi-machine execution, though I talked to a guy who's working on adding that for his Master's degree.
- tdavis 18y agoI'll be the first to admit that http socket issues exist and drop-in replacements are indeed often buggy. That being said, this wouldn't be a huge issue to overcome were Stackless given more TLC. Regardless, it has many other valuable uses.
