I'm not talking about speed or Rugby's efficiency, which is certainly
admirable, but there are things Rugby can't do anything about ...
Rugby is blocking when executing long-running functions, like doing
data analysis involving data gathering from multiple data sources (and
many scenarios more).
I've just had a look at the cooperative threading model, and it might
be good enough for a lot of cases (though, in general, I don't like
coop multithreading too much, it usually complexifies otherwise simple
programs enormously).

Unfortunately not.
That's why I am asking here ...
BTW, Roger Sessions may well talk a lot of nonsense, but his
observation regarding SOAP I support. SOAP is (rather) complex when
compared to XML-RPC or REBOL messaging. It is probably extremely
simple simple when compared to CORBA.
And he who deems "XML" simple hasn't seen it in its full glory.
