Hi Henrik,
first of all, thank you for the article and the good work!
However, I must say that I have doubts about the benefits of WebSockets
in general. I cannot see that they are worth the overhead.
They introduce a complicated machinery, which is not just a simple
protocol extension, but a
Hi Alex, doesn't all that polling you're doing introduce a lot of
unnecessary requests to the server.
There can be up to 200 persons logged in at the same time at the site
where I'm using websockets now, that would be 100 HTTP POSTS per

Oops, no!
Hi Tomas,
thing like the example from Alex, then the amount of work on the server
seems rather small and avoiding sending HTTP headers seems like
pointless micro-optimization.

Yeah that would be nice. So, isn't that a good reason to have websockets in
PocoLisp?

I would not say so. In a video game you have so much continuous
communication going on (most notably the stream of image frames), that
