To Saynatkari
Hello Saynatkari <ruby-ml magical-cat.org>,
if you send me your email, we could talk directly without annoying this entire ML.
I am the ruby interested newbie that launched the subject.
I would to hear from you, some further comments about twisted, and explanations for me to understand what makes it an "horrendous
piece of convoluted, sick and strangely engineered work" and what
ruby libraries you could point for me to get equal and maybe b
better functionnalities.
as it seems you have a great ruby world knowledge, do you know some ruby bridge with ruby world.
thanks,
···

As I understand it, Ruby doesn't need Twisted, as it has a strong

there are other items, too.
This isn't the same, in my opinion.
The Socket/Server classes are very low level. GServer is more of a
high-level approach but assumes Ruby's non-native threads are all you
need for server IO and that's really only true in simple applications.
Remember, a large write is all it takes to halt the entire Ruby
process.
Also remember that POE/Twisted include event loop implementations.
That can be quite handy.
I personally would love to see the Ruby equivalent of POE/Twisted.
Might push us into the server world a bit more...
I may look at what Twisted really offers and write something up that
shows what Ruby does that may duplicate Twisted.
I would love to see you're opinion of why it isn't needed, as long as
we can debate it a little.
My opinion on the matter is that Twisted is a horrendous
piece of convoluted, sick and strangely engineered work
(no experience with POE), and therefore not suitable for
duplication.
I have a wrapper library for libevent somewhere. Perhaps
I will dust it off if I can locate it.
