I had a look at Comet when some of the earlier Dojo articles came out. It looked like it had quite a few problems. The 37Signals campfire web chat application uses server polling every three seconds instead of Comet. DHH presented something called Armageddon that used real Flash sockets for server push. I think he decided against using this because polling was sufficient. I think that something like Comet probably wouldn't be a core part of Fork. I am thinking about a way to release extensions to Fork that sit on top if that happens. Kind of like Scriptaculous on Prototype. This way people could contribute new features but they wouldn't go into Fork core until they have been proven and belong in core. Much like Rails plugins are a proving ground now. > P.S.
