Mongrel - Zed S…interesting. I thought he bailed on the Rails  
community after his little tirade…now he’s got a book coming out.

Yeah, because it only takes a couple of weeks to put together a book.  
There’s also this thing called a “contract”, you might want to look it  
up.

Instead of bashing Zed, how about you read up on this book and what  
it’s about? Instead of just being about Mongrel, he’s writing about  
developing high performance, secure web servers by showing how he  
built Mongrel, the ideas and concepts he used, especially Ragel and  
state machines for protocol parsing.
