bryan - great presentation last night. very enjoyable discussion. here are a couple of follow up links for fun.
you can waste^H^H^H^H^Hspend hours of time looking through this site: "the great computer language shootout" http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/ also, in 2001-2002 matt welsh did some fantastic research around high performance server IO, although the architecture isn't specific to java, he did use java for his implementation - the project is called SEDA. it's work he did while at berkeley (go bears!) - now he is at harvard. "SEDA is an acronym for staged event-driven architecture, and decomposes a complex, event-driven application into a set of stages connected by queues." paper (it's a very good read): http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~mdw/papers/seda-sosp01.pdf other SEDA stuff: http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~mdw/proj/seda/ thanks again for your presentation.
