[Ruby] Good alternatives to Mongrel?

[Michael T. Halligan]

Let's take the argument to a bit more of the extreme.  In a month or  
two, let's suppose
Hans Reiser is found guilty of murdering his wife? Would it still be,  
as you say "silly" to stop
utilizing ReiserFS? I'm still paying Reiser no money in the business  
transaction, yet I'm
using the software whose development of obviously helped contribute  
detrimentally
to his emotional state and moral judgement? How would you feel in that  
situation?

Now let's say in a month, Zed goes even more psycho, and beats up or  
kills an overweight,
homosexual Rails developer? He's already made the threats, and  
targeted out specific
individuals because of their physical stature or his perceived  
understanding of their sexual
preferences.

It's all relative.
