Hi Gershom,

We've also seen a lot of interest in distribution and cloud computing. From the articles I've read, efficient concurrent programming involves using node.js, so I think we should put some work into writing a new-new-new-IO Manager built on top of this technology.

As a member of Mio developers, I don't understand this sentence. Would you concretely explain what kind of node.js technologies should be taken into new-new-new-IO Manager?

It's really simple: node.js is webscale, Mio is not. I'm sorry, but you simply didn't do a good enough job making sure that random packets were lost when sending network traffic, or that writing data to disk may sporadically fail. Better luck next time.

I think Michael about sums it up. Erik -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Erik de Castro Lopo http://www.mega-nerd.com/
