Yes, Python apparently used less memory, which is rather
important when you write a service with persistent websocket
connections, like a webchat or game. Old school stackless
coroutines probably would be better than fibers like D and Go
uses.
An alternative to writing such code for the application is to get
persistent connections by "ready made" server-infrastructure
(which probably is more reliable anyway). On AppEngine you have
something called channels which basically allows you to send
messages to a connected client push-style:
https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/channel/
As far as I can tell that means that the application server can
die without loosing the connection.
