Nice article. Not trying to start a subjective debate on languages/ technologies, but it did seem odd they would include a language like ruby but not python, c#, or java / scala.

I work with the author, the languages included came down purely to expertise available. Additional implementations have been submitted for Rust, Haskell and Ruby's event machine. A host of pull requests have been submitted to tweak the existing implementations as well.

It would be awesome to see implementations in python, c# and java. There are a number of ways to do each, I assume.

I mostly thought it was odd that of all of the JVM languages they included it was Clojure. Ruby sort of makes since given that Rails recently included ActionCable.

Yeah, not having Scala or Java but having Clojure was strange to me. I would be curious to see how a CLR language (C# or F# mainly) fares relative to the JVM.

I think C# would have done well, based on IOCP.

Depending on the implementation/deployment of the C#/F# code, it probably would have performed very well.

Java would have been a bit longer than Clojure, but performance and memory usage would likely have been better.

Additionally, I would like to see Rust, Haskell, and .NET.

I happened to come across this in /r/haskell today. The results are very impressive.

Careful, there was a mistake in that Haskell code and possible bug causing it to drop a lot of messages.
