Question about non-blocking i/o integrated in ruby

I don’t know the roadmap of ruby development, but, maybe there someone
in this forum that knows. There is any plan to create in ruby something
like node.js and golang has, the non-blocking i/o integrated with the
language?

I really love ruby, i know it gonna get faster and faster, jruby 9k is a
prove, but the blocking i/o is killing me, most of our background are
being migrated to golang because of i/o performance.

I work in a gps tracking application that handlers thousands and
thousands of connections per second, its getting harder to scale.

Eventmachine isnt really a solution, mostly, because the lack of
clients.

For this kind of application, if you like functional language,
you should perhaps watch Scala, Erlang, Haskel …

It’s a good alternative Regis, but the problem here gonna be the people
and not the technology itself. The team im alocated isn’t so open to new
technologies.

They were using microsoft tech here since forever and i convinced then,
with greate effort, to give a try to ruby and till now, they are liking.

The closes i cant get to this is to change to nodejs or golang.
Well lets see whats gonna happen :confused:

About ruby, the project that come more close to what i need is
Celluloid::IO, just need to patch some gems to get the async connection.

Thx
