What Hacker News says?
Congrats on the 2.0 release! I highly recommend taking a look at http://middlemanapp.com if you're considering Jekyll. I gave a talk at RailsConf ( http://bradgessler.com/talks/middleman-frontend/ ) about static website generators and found that Middleman handles everything Jekyll does in a much more modular, more "railsy" way by using tilt, sprockets, and all that good stuff.

HN discussionI agree with most of the points in this essay. I wrote http://firehose.io/ a few years ago for Poll Everywhere and we've successfully scaled WebSockets in a production environment. We don't use it for 2-way communications though; it's HTTP requests in and WebSocket pushes out with long-polling as a backup for non-WS clients. Check out the sourcecode if you want to see an implementation of all the "hard lesions won"…
