Thanks Steve!
Dave Fayram (the long haired guy) and I (both Powersetters) have been
hacking on fuzed for a short time and are making wonderful progress!
It's actually not a reverse proxy, but a full-on replacement for
(Apache/Lighttpd/Nginx) and a cluster of Mongrels. It uses YAWS, a pure
Erlang webserver, for the HTTP parsing and queuing. Connections are then
sent to a pool of Ruby processes via a Ruby to Erlang binding (called
erlectricity). No mongrels in sight!
Building on top of YAWS will allow you to do everything that Swiftiply
and haproxy do, in addition to some crazy concurrency stuff that we'll
be implementing. I'll post details as they develop! Look for blog posts
by Dave and I soon.
Also, I have a blog up now at rubyisawesome.com. Check it out!

WOW!
Ok, so the last session on Sunday, before Dave Thomas's final
(lackluster, matching DHH's) keynote - I was attending the "Rails
Security" talk.
Well, the guy didn't show up. Hope he had a good reason.
So everyone started leaving.. but then some guy grabbed the mic and
said let's do Open Mic again, so yah..
There were a few things, but Tom (and some other dude with long hair)
showed off his Erlang reverse proxy thingamjig and it caught my eye.
Maybe because I've been playing with it for a bit, but hadn't written
any real applications. To see something real, and useful, and very
practical (and needed) was exciting.
Anyway, for me, while it didn't quite have the "f u" of Zed's mini
talk, I think it was the open mic show stealer, so, if you're
listening Tom - nice job!
