There's a fork out there called EventMachine-LE, which is currently in active development for latest features (i.e. IPv6). https://github.com/ibc/EventMachine-LE

Anyway, just wanted to throw it out there that I've deployed several production apps (gaming/messaging servers) using EventMachine, and combined with em-synchrony, I'm pretty comfortable with its performance and limitations. There seems to be good community support (thanks to Ilya Grigorik's articles and em-synchrony) with plenty of examples/documentations.

Just wondering, are there any people out there with Celluloid app experience that's currently in production? Like any other geek, I love programming "the right way" but I know nothing about Celluloid and it's real-world benefits/drawbacks (performance, API, code maintainability, code documentation, community support, blog articles, etc).

Sidekiq is probably the best example of Celluloid in action.

Correct, and for those interested in approaching Celluloid, here is post that demonstrates a concurrent "Hello, world" program: http://danielsz.posterous.com/167870244
