I attempted to write some ØMQ bindings (https://github.com/plobsing/parrot-zeromq), at least in part because they would allow Parrot languages to easily interact with the Mongrel2 webserver. ØMQ is also an easier solution (IMHO) to many of the problems people try to solve with AIO. These bindings are currently blocked by thread-safety issues within the Parrot interpreter (which need to be solved before we can offer true threading on Parrot). Summary: give me half of a threading implementation, and I can supply you with a decent AIO alternative and a straightforward means of creating webapps. > Thanks, Christoph > _______________________________________________ > http://lists.parrot.org/mailman/listinfo/parrot-dev >
