Yeah and I also think he's missing the point that people use mongrel not because it's awesome like Zed, but because they don't have choice. Having deployed several mongrel-based servers I personally think mongrel is a crappy server, and is in fact one of the reasons we switched to python/django.
- jeremymcanally 17y agoWell that's not so much true anymore. I'd actually be interested to see its marketshare after the emergence of Passenger as a viable option, along with other proxying servers like Thin. But yeah for a while, it was Mongrel or (ew) Webrick. How far we've come! :P
- misuba 17y agoThin is built with the HTTP parsing code from Mongrel - and, curiously, has always admitted it. A large number of the people who shout "Mongrel sucks" have those funny ways of saying "except when it doesn't" under their breath right after.
- carbon8 17y agoI could be wrong, but it doesn't seem like anyone willingly deploys new apps using mongrel anymore. It's all passenger, glassfish, etc these days.
- lsc 17y agoI don't see how that would change anything; better than the alternatives is.
