For that kind of large deployment, you'll probably hit the limitation of the Python programming language sooner or later, too. Erlang seems to have become quite popular lately and even Facebook uses it for some backend stuff. The main reason is out-of-box concurrency, and great reliability under load which comes from supervisor-worker setup that is built-in. A good example of what this means is Yaws http server which is virtually impossible to kill even if you bombard it with a huge (as in MUCH more than http server X) number of concurrent requests. -- Branko Vukelić bg.bra...@gmail.com stu...@brankovukelic.com Check out my blog: http://www.brankovukelic.com/ Check out my portfolio: http://www.flickr.com/photos/foxbunny/ Registered Linux user #438078 (http://counter.li.org/) I hang out on identi.ca: http://identi.ca/foxbunny Gimp Brushmakers Guild http://bit.ly/gbg-group
