As a longtime fan of Thin, I've been very impressed lately by Reel[1], which is built on Celluloid::IO. In particular, Webmachine-ruby[2] is a nice framework that supports Reel.

While arguably not popular enough (yet) to be considered in the comparison here, I have a feeling it will become a major contender as it matures.

If you're looking for high concurrency, or doing things like WebSockets/SSE, I'd recommend taking a look.

Easy to go mainstream if it can support Rails. :)


Looks like that's already been done: https://github.com/celluloid/reel/pull/3
