[REBOL] networking stuff..
From: matt::fitzgerald::bigpond::com at: 5-Oct-2001 15:18
How efficient is REBOL at networking? (Fairly general statement eh?) We've
developed an application in C++ that creates a number of worker threads and
simply listens on a TCP/IP port for incoming messages, quite often the load
is quite intense (the application is infrastructure management software) as
agents are trying to connect with the server to send their details through
(only 557 bytes at a time per agent); at the moment the application we've
made performs quite well.
However, I can see REBOL being a perfect replacement for our agents and our
server, provided that it would be able to handle the load. I'm VERY new to
REBOL but so far I'm very impressed (anything by Carl must be good; I'm an
Amiga freak from way back). Does it have any concept of threads? Or does it
just magically handle the network connections without me having to worry
about it?
Cheers,
