Zed Shaw: Why I (A/L)GPL

Yeah and I also think he's missing the point that people use mongrel not because it's awesome like Zed, but because they don't have choice. Having deployed several mongrel-based servers I personally think mongrel is a crappy server, and is in fact one of the reasons we switched to python/django.

Well that's not so much true anymore. I'd actually be interested to see its marketshare after the emergence of Passenger as a viable option, along with other proxying servers like Thin.

But yeah for a while, it was Mongrel or (ew) Webrick. How far we've come! :P

I could be wrong, but it doesn't seem like anyone willingly deploys new apps using mongrel anymore. It's all passenger, glassfish, etc these days.

Thin is built with the HTTP parsing code from Mongrel - and, curiously, has always admitted it.

A large number of the people who shout "Mongrel sucks" have those funny ways of saying "except when it doesn't" under their breath right after.

I don't see how that would change anything; better than the alternatives is.
