[...] What makes Mongrel so fast is the careful use of an Ragel [C] extension to provide fast, accurate HTTP 1.1 protocol parsing. This makes the server scream without too many portability issues.&amp;quot;  -- &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;mongrel&amp;#x2F;mongrel&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;mongrel&amp;#x2F;mongrel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;And its successor Thin:&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Thin is a Ruby web server that glues together 3 of the best Ruby libraries in web history: (1) the Mongrel parser, the root of Mongrel speed and security&amp;quot; -- &lt;a href=&quot;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;code.macournoyer.com&amp;#x2F;thin&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;code.macournoyer.com&amp;#x2F;thin&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;In case anyone is still wondering, parsing in Ruby&amp;#x2F;Python&amp;#x2F;Lua is pretty slow compared to C&amp;#x2F;C++.  That&amp;#x27;s why I personally have been really interested for a long time in writing parsers in C that can be used from higher level languages.  That way you can get the best of both worlds.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Uvloop: Fast Python networking</title><url>http://magic.io/blog/uvloop-blazing-fast-python-networking/</url></story>
