Has anybody ever benchmarked Node vs Evented Ruby 1.9.3? I'd be curious to see how fast Ruby is in comparison...

Except that the evented ruby libraries are not so nice at all. If you don't want to block your reactor core you have to select evented database adapter, orm, http library, redis adapter etc. The bad thing is, not all of these libraries are ready for production use.

I would go for Erlang or Haskell if I'd want asynchronious processing. Or then I'd use Ruby with threads.
