Eventmachine talk - Aug 2006 - Ruby 1.8.5 - Nonblocking

Ruby 1.8.5 has some non-blocking IO stuff backported.  Will this enable you
to make eventmachine 100% Ruby?

I expect so. Most of these functions were added late last May after
some controversy over what they should be called. (See the relevant
threads in the ruby-core archive.)

The pure ruby implementation is nearly complete now (I''ll make an
announcement when it''s ready). Look in
version_0/lib/pr_eventmachine.rb. This functionality gets called
transparently from any program that does a require
''eventmachine'' if
the extension library is not present. I haven''t done a complete
profile, but the pure Ruby code seems to run something like half as
fast as the compiled code, which is better than I was expecting.
