[sf-lug] Interesting Python projects

[Kai Chang]

C/Systems programmers should check out libevent, which provides a
lower-level interface for event-driven network programming with similar
advantages to Tornado:

There's also NodeJS, for javascript developers:

Erlang and Haskell are also both are capable of fast, highly concurrent
web/network services. Erlang is a language explicitly designed for such
tasks. Haskell has some web servers like Snap and Yesod/Warp to check out.
