Hi, I'm the author of the article, and it was a while since I measured that number. Let me check it and fix it if it's wrong. Update: I wrote an addendum https://www.codeotaku.com/journal/2018-11/fibers-a

It's this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZCm2QQZVYk And it's a great lecture, everyone should watch it.

Oh wow. I was working with Glenn on GitHub and I didn't know. https://github.com/glennrp/libpng/pull/177 was my last interaction with him. He seemed to really care about libpng and making it better.

Oh, I'm pretty sure we will trash Mars too given enough time.

The tech empower benchmarks for Ruby are a bit foobar, I tried to fix it but ran out of time. I wouldn't trust it completely. I'm not saying it's wrong, I just don't think it's the complete picture.

I don't know that but it would make sense.

This is controllable, but by default it makes one process per core. Regarding the pool size, I'd suggest that it should correspond more to how many simultaneous connections you think you'd have per process, so maybe just choose so

I've been doing my best to try and support JRuby but in actual fact, JRuby simply isn't that compatible with MRI where it matters. I hope we can fix this but honestly I can only do so much. I tend to focus my efforts on MRI since

It's nice to directly/natively serve HTTP/2 web apps, because it simplifies development and production environments. Sometimes best practice for HTTP/1 becomes anti-pattern for HTTP/2. Some of these issues are discu

I will email you, but I've also created a chat room specifically for discussing falcon. https://gitter.im/socketry/falcon

I really think it depends on your use-case. The surface area of HTTP is huge. I'd like to think it's production ready, but I'm only just beginning to dog-food Falcon in production on my end. Pragmatically speaking, it will be

This is unfortunate, but at the time I only checked RubyGems.org and didn't think to check another language or package repository. So, I apologies, but there was no bad intentions, perhaps just a little bit of bad luck and ignorance. T

Can you explain the reference?

There is a rake task in the source which performs benchmarks. Feel free to try it out and propose more benchmarks.

This is a long way from native bi-directional HTTP/2.

I’m really interested in these use cases so let me know if I can help in any way.

From my POV: > TLS requires ALPN. Supported by recent versions of Ruby pretty well, but as you say, older versions, not so well. > Setting up more advanced TLS is highly undocumented. It was slightly tricky with Ruby but it provides t

So, I implemented https://github.com/socketry/falcon - a HTTP/1, HTTP/2 web server, including client. HTTP/2 in my opinion is simply a better protocol. It's more robust, and it has a binary framing

You are right, but it's also more nuanced. The remote end can cancel the push if it already has the resource.

What are we actually looking for here? A private key?

As a recent example, the cost to travel by train into Tokyo from Narita cost me about ¥800, but the tolls from driving cost about ¥2000. So, if you travel with 3+ people in a car, it's cheaper to drive, provided you already own a car.

I walked past one of these in Japan and it even had a really nice kids play area, a cot/baby sleeping area, a TV area with consoles, etc!

Can you point to some examples with the properties you suggest make Ruby unreadable?

It's funny how people seem to do the same thing at the same time. I recently made https://github.com/socketry/localhost however `mkcert` has lots of good ideas I'm going to "borrow" :)
