- Main advantage is simplicity, but architecture is in fact very similar to nginx. So, server should be faster than nginx but scale similarly. But it's all still highly DIY

- You're right, I mean non-blocking architecture of network IO.

Lucky enough 'should be' is not a accepted benchmark ;)

Don't get me wrong, nginx is big and has more experience. Different headers, compression, security etc.

I would not even advice people using something like LEAR alone for the fact of undetected security issues.

I agree, I don't claim it's ready Please, treat it as interesting project to follow that has just started, and is surely not meant to be deployed in production environments, at least not in this state
