WebSockets


Joe Armstrong: After a small amount of experimentation I was able to make Erlang talk to a web page using pure asynchronous message passing.  I think this means the death of the following technologies:

I see the appeal for a single node Erlang or Eventmachine or node.js server.  (Can sockets be passed between servers?)

I’m less clear about how this could work with request/response servers like PHP or Rails.  Event loops on the server are not typically application patterns for applications using such frameworks — shared nothing is more of the norm.
