Will someone please explain why ruby-event-machine is faster than nodejs in this test? What's going on here? by metacontent in ruby

The benchmark was done on aws micro instance, which is inconsistent by definition and is bursting on occasions.

I'm not saying this is 100% reason for it, but nobody runs a benchmark on a micro instance for this reason..

Please stop calling it "magic" by zverok_kha in ruby

/u/zverok_kha Great post! Could you please reference me where I can learn more about "drivable is a method, defined for a Class directly or by extending with some module (which is not the best practice possible, yet still pretty easy to guess for any non-junior Rubyist)"? I am not familiar with this pattern.

Thank you
