nodejs vs gevent+monkey_patching allows you to USE "EV" (please bear with me, from now on "EV" means just a programming pattern - google for that): apis, websockets, streaming, etc. usually are the best fit for that. Everything that needs either: - a lot of concurrent connections - a lot of ope

thank you for your thoughts, may be there are scenarios where evented frameworks shine, but nodejs is a web framework, so in this scenario the main advantage is that requests don't block each other, so my question is regarding only this scenario: what advantage of using nodejs over gevent monkey p

because for really exploiting evented frameworks you need to code "evented-ly" also your app. Programming languages (also big frameworks like e.g. twisted) that "by default" have strong support for actors, events, light threads, and so on (and also for that reason, generally harder to grasp-cre

a while ago I saw vert.x (it is on top of jvm) , now that, and a question raised in my mind: why do I need nodejs or evented frameworks, if importing gevent and monkey patching makes everything non blocking? celery and other goods are already in web2py frameworks, so what are your thoughts? --

yep. Benchmarks apart, if "reacts" in an evented way could be the only thing working like that in Windows natively (a user a while ago posted in this list a repackage of tornado called motor that worked very well too. Sadly, not really largely supported). I'm curious about the implications of r

Interesting. Would be useful to also compare it with other similar—or subset covering—functionality frameworks such as: - Tornado - Twisted Matrix Or any of these frameworks: http://wiki.python.org/moin/Concurrency#Frameworks On
