Hi guys. I''ve been lurking on both the EM mailing list and the Twisted mailing list...I need one of the two for a project I''m working on and in the stage of deciding between the two. I personally prefer Ruby quite a bit over Python, but I must say the activity on this list concerns me. I realize that EM is a open source project supported by volunteers, but it seems that many questions go unanswered here, while on the Twisted mailing list things get answered pretty quickly (often in the space of hours). So, I''m curious...is anyone out there? Is there a different forum that''s utilized for getting info/answers on EM? I''m not trying to sound ungrateful...only sincere. Thanks, John

And maybe I''ve missed something, but if nobody else has an answer to something, Francis usually gets to people''s questions within a few hours. Kirk Haines

Maybe he''s out of town at the moment... (?) Regards, Bill
Actually, I''m a heavy user of a EventMachine and subscribed to this list recently just to publish some pieces of my code. Only one issue slightly bothers me: EM crashes in case of many connections + epoll (discussed in a topic "Segfaults using epoll"). It seems to be fixed in trunk, but i still got crashes with 1000+ concurrent connections. However, without epoll things work fast enough and i use monitor/watchdog to restart servers anyway. To be honest, I''ve never dived into Twisted and Python, but EM works very well for me for 6 months already. See some useful EM-related libs on gitorious (eventually, all are mine :-) http://gitorious.org/search?q=eventmachine On 19.03.2008, at 6:13, John Wells wrote:> I''ve been lurking on both the EM mailing list and the Twisted mailing > list...I need one of the two for a project I''m working on and in the > stage of deciding between the two. > > I personally prefer Ruby quite a bit over Python, but I must say the > activity on this list concerns me.
