<p><strong><a href="http://blog.newint.org/tech/2009/11/26/perl-dont-ingore-it/">Perl: Love it, or hate it, but don&#x27;t ignore it.</a></strong></p> Phillip Smith calls me out for omitting Perl from my list of Node.js event loop alternatives (I only mentioned Twisted and EventMachine). No conspiracy here, I’m just not connected enough to the Perl community to know what the popular event loop libraries are. To Perl’s credit, Perlbal was the first piece of software I saw that showed me how a single threaded, event loop based system could massively outperform a threaded alternative. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/async">async</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/eventio">eventio</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/eventloop">eventloop</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/eventmachine">eventmachine</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/nodejs">nodejs</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/perl">perl</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/perlbal">perlbal</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/twisted">twisted</a></p>

<p><strong><a href="http://stompserver.rubyforge.org/">stompserver</a></strong></p> I think this is the lightweight message queue I’ve been looking for: written in Ruby and EventMachine, easy to set up (thanks to gems), interoperates perfectly with stomp.py. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/eventmachine">eventmachine</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/gems">gems</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/lightweight">lightweight</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/message-queues">message-queues</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/messaging">messaging</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/python">python</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/ruby">ruby</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/stomp">stomp</a></p>
