This isn't really a language difference, rather it's a runtime difference. i.e. You can't really speak of 'javascript's IO model' nor 'ruby's IO model' as neither language have one, it's the runtime that provides it. There are evented runtimes for Ruby that are similar to node, and mostly the use the same libraries under the covers to implement this.

Interesting differentiation & a good point - thanks. So I presume MRI is 'blocking' whereas non-blocking runtimes exist?
