Example uses
EventMachine has been used to build a number of different libraries and frameworks in which concurrency is a performance concern. Some examples include:[2]
- critical networked applications
- web servers and proxies
- email and IM production systems
- authentication/authorization processors
gollark: Probably all the complex ones, yes.
gollark: And some people might stop using your stuff if there are loads.
gollark: If an exploit is found, people will complain.
gollark: Sure they are.
gollark: Okay, the people programming applications do not in most cases want exploits.
