  Cramp is a fully asynchronous web framework that's very good at dealing with thousands of open connections. It supports WebSockets (latest protocol) and Server-sent Events out of the box. Optionally, supports using Ruby 1.9 fibers to prevent spaghetti evented code - which means seamless Active Record integration.

  Goliath has a websockets branch and also supports eventsource and streaming pretty easily. If it's something you need, definitely look into Goliath as well.

  HN meta point here. This link was posted 18 days ago too, but with a forward slash at the end: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2874982 (nonetheless it gets an upvote again for being cool). Potential fix/update for news.arc on this issue or just a useful trick to let slide? :-)

  1. Does this work with Rails?

  2. Generally, the "Hello World" for a real-time framework is a simple chat application.

  I would really love to see some perf comparisons vs C# or Java.

  This looks cool, but I wish it were http://socket.io compatible
