Eventmachine talk - Nov 2007 - REST framework attached

All, there have been several requests for an EventMachine-based
RESTful framework for developing Web sites, especially those that
either serve functionality accessed by other web sites or that access
other sites themselves. This is a critical set of capabilities that
are not well-addressed by Rails. Also, this framework is designed for
high performance. The code is well-tested, running in production on
many sites already, and has no known bugs that are being worked on.

I''ve attached the framework (called "Unicycle") as a gem to
this
message. Please have a look and tell me what you think. There is an
introductory document named HOWTO and quite a few unit tests.

After we get a few comments on what''s good, what''s bad and
what''s ugly
about this software, we can talk about releasing it formally into the
EM distro.

Enjoy, everyone.

Cool!

Save me sparking up my Ruby world, which has been quiet for a bit due
to my flipping deeply into a Javascript phase:

- what does monorail.js do?  =0)

Cheers!

"Unicycle" was originally named "monorail" (a lighter,
faster version
of Rail) until it turned out that another project (unrelated to Ruby
or Rails) already had that name.

Monorail.js is probably vestigial now. It probably had widget-support
code that we were working on. The original project was far more
ambitious than the RESTful framework it has become. We were originally
looking for something like a Ruby version of Django.

Really cool. I will play around with this and let you know.

Many thanks.
