...would be written in Java. There?s a pile of good reasons why software continues to be written in other languages, either on top of other runtimes or on the bare metal. No, don?t argue.

.... Java isn't the only way to be portable, but you don't see much on the scale of elasticsearch, jenkins or opennms done cross-platform in other languages. > No, don?t argue. I don?t want to start a Java flame war here. Just take it from a software developer, Java is not a universal, unalloyed good. The syntax is cumbersome - but there are things like groovy or jruby that run on top of it. And there's a lot of start-up overhead, but that doesn't matter much to long-running servers. > Take systemd. You can go two ways here: > > 1. sysvinit should also be supported as...

Hello, I have been looking at the Ruby/EventMachine. First let me say it look very good. Reactor model with no threads makes for fast reliable server, and I have read about marvelous Twisted framework for Python and am glad to see something similar for Ruby. I am writing network app with Ruby threads now and it very slow, and I try new Ruby 1.9 with native threads that make it much slower.
