Hey Ry, Your project looks amazing. I had a look at rev to use libev, but it seems to be Ruby 1.9 only and I'm far from a C expert. So right now Thin uses EventMachine.
I really like your idea and I think we could help each other in building something very cool. If you'd like to participate in Thin and have some suggestions on how to make it better we should have a talk. Send me an email if you're interested.
