Comment on Why Everyone Is Talking About Node

Thanks to Mongrel2 you can do real time in Ruby too or with the language you happen to like the most or for which you have the right "business logic" libraries.

Having code in production running both NodeJS and Mongrel2, I am happy to see both of them growing.

you can do real time in Ruby too

Please don't overload the meaning of "real-time"; It doesn't mean "real fast".

I saw the disambiguation page for "Real-time" again last night, and you're absolutely right.

Do you imply that EventMachine is slower than Node.js for IO-bound tasks?

Please, look it up. From wikipedia: "A system is said to be real-time if the total correctness of an operation depends not only upon its logical correctness, but also upon the time in which it is performed."
