What are the reasons this isn't just a json-serving front-end to Redis? Is it largely because Redis clustering isn't baked yet?

Can you explain why templating in Salt is better than using conditionals[1], loops[2], and variables[3] in Ansible playbooks? You can even use templates[4] in Ansible that are Jinja2 as well. [1] http://www.ansibleworks.com/

I'd love to hear any opinions the RethinkDB guys have about this.

That's consistent with Cuba's own benchmarks - http://files.soveran.com/cuba/#9 - where Sinatra improves over Rails by a little but Cuba improves by a lot.

s/Ruby/Rails/ Rails is a heavyweight framework. I'd be more interested in a comparison with a lightweight framework like Cuba. Ruby will still lose to Go, but the difference probably won't be 10x.

This is the readme I looked at before I commented: https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/tree/mast... It still references Passenger.

Would still like Ruby to be tested with app servers other than Passenger. Is this planned for Round 4?
