Well, my point was about how economic value is relative, which elaborates on Chris's point. I agree, it's not the same as Chris's point.

Once upon a time I was a VP at a bank that no longer exists, but was prominent, and saw decisions being made the same way about whether or not to build a custom system or buy a vendor based system. Banks can gain a significant advantage ov

This type of service has been written many times before without kernel panics. I didn't get to see Charm before they shut down, so I have no idea what they were doing. Could anyone speak towards how their experience was unique enough to cau

We've seen many efforts similar to this over the years. Can anyone describe why this effort is different from those that came before it?

Where are you based? If you're in NYC or Berlin, you should present this at Hack And Tell! It's great!

Because it's a sockets layer. You could very easily send HTML over it if you want.

Every language deals with this until about x.3 of the newer version.

It certainly is. Just look at the insanity of the nonblocking I/O experience in Python. It's confusing, divided, and results in duplicated work all the way down to the database driver level. I'm not overselling it. I'm someone who's built a

The main point is that for CPU bound tasks, other than those that use Numpy, the performance is still a dog with Python. I threw in the comment about nonblocking I/O niceties as icing on the cake, but since we're on the topic it's worth men

That's a small use case compared to the whole language. The statement you disagree with is more true than your anecdote about one library. On top of that, all the network I/O is automatically nonblocking.

A coroutine is not the same as an Actor, though actors can be implemented with coroutines.

I totally agree, but I'm not sure of any other places that offer such flexibility in pricing and hardware. If you were to conduct a test like this, where would you go for more reliable performance from hardware?

Regarding design choices, I think Brubeck and Diesel are indeed the future. They don't rely on the broken ideas found in WSGI and they don't attempt to bolt on concurrency. Both are designed around an async / nonblocking system that removes

Brubeck has experimental WebSockets support coming up soon. The basic idea is that all of the socket proxying takes place in Mongrel2 and Brubeck handlers simply process messages from the socket. Brubeck, in this design, is asynchronous and

It's interesting to me that this comment had more points, but has gone down. If you are downvoting me, would you mind explaining why? Do you not agree?

People interested in frameworks should read bottle's code. It has a neat feature where the request handling is built by sub classing exceptions. This allows request processing to terminate at any point by simply raising the handler. There i
