You probably knew that already. But check out how easy it is to write a multithreaded TCP server in Ruby:

socket = TCPServer.new(listenIp,listenPort)
socket.setsockopt(Socket::IPPROTO_TCP, 
  Socket::TCP_NODELAY, true)
begin
  while
    session = socket.accept   
    thisThread = Thread.new(session) {|thisSession|
      while thisSession
        # do your server i/o stuff
      end
    }
  end
end

Mwahahahaha...
