Hi, and welcome to the wiki! If you don't mind me asking, what's your full name (or do you want to remain anonymous)? Are you also subscribed to the AOLSERVER mailing list? Some of us also hang out on IRC and chat (you can also access the chat via AIM, but most folks use IRC).

If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks! -- Dossy 07:13, 3 December 2005 (EST)

Why does it seem like you're avoiding Tcl? Your recent wiki edits have been focused around other languages in AOLserver other than Tcl, like Lua, PHP and Ruby. Why? You will really never get the kind of performance out of Perl, PHP or Ruby as you will Tcl, because Tcl is suitable for embedding in a multi-threaded application where Perl, PHP and Ruby aren't. (I don't know enough about Lua to say one way or the other.) So, if you still want to use those other languages, then you probably don't care about performance at the high end, in which case, you probably don't need to use AOLserver, either. In the small, any web server will be more than adequate on modern hardware to serve a few hundred pages here and there. It's when you start getting into the few hundred per second arena where AOLserver has the opportunity to shine. -- Dossy 07:46, 10 December 2005 (EST)
