Comment on Explain “Event-Driven” Web Servers to Your Grandma

Comments

Grandma, "Event-Driven" is just a fancy word for magic. Don't worry about it.

Why are people upvoting this comment? not fully implemented and readily available != magic.

Not fully implemented? I'm pretty sure all of the billions of requests that hit nginx, varnish, haproxy, and Zeus would disagree with you. What about all those massive sites using memcached on the backend? You know -- Facebook, Twitter, Digg, Craigslist, YouTube?
