Fuzed Roadmap
Just thought I’d mention Fuzed v0.10.0 today, which has a faster mochiweb faceplate. Tom’s also got the RAILS_ENV propagation going so you can run a real production app.
We’re also going to get SSL and multi-master failover done this month. Once Fuzed is ready to host a project like GitHub and can be started with one command for easy local development, and supports merb, we’ll call v1.0.0 and take over the rails webapp world.
My now-not-so-secret-goal is to get the Rails and Merb project to acknowledge us and have support baked in.

Fuzed and EC2
Scott has made an amazing script on top of Fuzed to easily host things in EC2 and scale them in an eyeblink. The screencast is amazing to watch.
I think though that there are some setup quirks, because you shouldn’t hit YAWS limitations so early. I’m willing to bet that he didn’t ramp his concurrency high enough. also, all the stats are in dev mode, so it’s gotta Tom and I will try and use httperf and get some more scientifically controlled tests using Production Mode.

SquirrelFish is faster than Tamarin
More benchmarking.
Attack of the efficient byte-compiled interpreter. What’s crazy to me is that Squirrelfish doesn’t seem to do anything amazingly new from an academic standpoint, it’s just a well-written interpreter by people who did their homework.
But seriously, Squirrelfish’s times on that graph are including bytecode compilation!!! Tamarin’s competitive numbers are executing pre-compiled code.

No accusations, no invectives…
Just a brief appreciation, some hard numbers from experimentation, and and admission that the Tamarin people have work to do and reassurance that they’re on it.
This may be one of the best blog posts I’ve ever read.
