Rainbows! Unicorn for slow apps and slow clients

Rainbows! is a HTTP server for Rack applications. It is based on  
Unicorn, but designed to handle applications that expect long  
request/response times and/or slow clients. For Rack applications not  
heavily bound by slow external dependencies, consider Unicorn instead as  
it simpler and easier to debug.

Rainbows! includes previous work from the “gossamer” and “rainbows”  
branches of Unicorn and will support additional network concurrency  
models. It is basically for all the things that Unicorn sucks  
at 🙂
