After using EventMachine in heavy production at Minefold for the last year and a half we're finally ditching it for Go. Our experience has been similar to the OP's. However we had random exception gobbling, internal threading issues and increasingly worse performance + code maintainability. We've been happily using Go for a few internal systems are are slowly galvanising most of our backend with it too. Life is happier.
