This looks like a really cool project, but the comparisons of other webservers are uh, a bit on the negative side. No code is perfect, even if it's better than the rest. While I find myself falling into the same thinking, it's rarely a good idea, and it certainly doesn't help your project's image.

I'm wondering why it says that it has "no threads, coroutines or other crap", and then complains about difficulty with "tr[ying] to patch Fapws so that it would support threading".

I feel the same way. His arrogance is strangely reassuring though heh.

Interesting. I think I am gonna benchmark this against gunicorn with a simple flask app.

Ok took 30 minutes to run some benchmarks on a AWS instance. I used a small instance run a simple Flask Hello World app with gunicorn (1 worker and 4 workers) and bjoern. Frankly I was not able to fund any speed difference between both the servers. Here is the gist of the benchmark results

>..."Fapws done right"

I know if I were the author of Fapws I would probably find that section a little irritating.

What about memory consumption?
