Bob Ippolito was telling me once that he took a server in Twisted and rewrote it in stackless. He got some performance gains, but then he rewrote it in Erlang. It dropped from 40% CPU utilization to almost nothing, and it was a heck of a lot faster. In some situations, Erlang is a really nice tool. Now, if only the syntax wasn't so ridiculously ugly ;) -jj -- I, for one, welcome our new Facebook overlords! http://jjinux.blogspot.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
