This is something I'm wondering about.  I've seen and used Twisted for 
Python and its robust and can handle large amounts of traffic.  I wonder 
why Ruby seems to lack the robustness in the arena of sockets, etc. that 
Python seems to have no issues with?  Perhaps I'm seeing this all wrong, 
so please correct me.  Eventmachine as it is now is coded in C or C++, 
correct?  Yet even with the improvements in the Ruby core for sockets 
the pure implementation of EM is going to be much slower.  I have to 
think Ruby has some issues still then in the arena of sockets?  Will 
YARV help any?
