1. Does this work with Rails? 2. Generally, the "Hello World" for a real-time framework is a simple chat application.

1. It can work within the same Rails process if you're using async Rails.

2. http://cramp.in/examples two chat apps there. But I don't have a live demo running.

Goliath has a websockets branch and also supports eventsource and streaming pretty easily. If it's something you need, definitely look into Goliath as well.

Personally, I think Cramp's interface is a lot better than Goliath when it comes to streaming, because everything is streaming in Cramp. YMMV. https://github.com/lifo/cramp/blob/master/examples/sse/serve... in case you want to compare. Also, goliath websockets branch looks outdated.

FWIW, I do like Goliath. More async solutions in Ruby the better!

This looks cool, but I wish it were http://socket.io compatible

I would really love to see some perf comparisons vs C# or Java.

I'd love to see it too! However, I do think the comparisons should be about the ability handle the number of open connections seamlessly and not req/sec. And relevant memory/cpu usages.

Agreed - do you have any anecdotal evidence of how it performs comparatively to say, Erlang or node?
