Do you have other examples of how badly constructed EventMachine is, or is it just that you can't use their process I/O stuff as a daemon manager?

I was using Adam Langley's net/ssl code in Golang to build an HTTPS proxy, and only after several hours of hair-pulling did I discover that Langley hadn't implemented the compat SSL2 handshake that Firefox uses with proxies. net/ssl in Go was, for no good reason other than an omission, unsuited for use as an HTTPS proxy. Should I say net/ssl was incompetently written? That seems like a bad idea to me.
