I was initially playing with Erlang, talk about good times, and I just got frustrated trying to do things I can do easily in Ruby and decided to fall back to Camping which I like a lot.
Then I came across Celluloid (http://celluloid.io/) and with it on JRuby you can pretty much take full advantage of all your CPU cores. Plus it does the 'let it fail' actor model, so when your Camping app crashes, it just restarts the actor again. This can make for a really robust webapp with all the benefits of running within a JVM. I then saw Reel-Rack which made running Camping easier, but I had the question of, how good would the performance be with all the overhead of JVM - JRuby - Celluloid::IO - Reel - Reel-Rack - Camping. That's when I started putting together the benchmark project just to see how that setup would look against a MRI version of my webapps. The simple tests don't really do it much justice, I'm starting to play with DCell and ZeroMQ, so I might try to come up with some examples where JRuby can use all the cores and see how MRI does with the same code. I also tried to play with Rubinis but ran into install issues with some Gems so I decided to stick with JRuby. I'm also on SmartOS in a Zone and KVM for Linux, so the tests might be completely different on a pure linux install on the same hardware, for better or worse. Would be interesting to see but I'm not going to rebuild my server to find out, maybe I'll try it in AWS or something.
