It would be fairly easy to cut out the DRb piece if it became a limiting factor - using an eventmachine daemon rather than a DRb daemon would be relatively easy, though not quite as brainlessly easy as using DRb.

How "scalable" is that? I mean, can you give us some hints on performance? I might try do do it myself ;)

I can't say I've needed super high-performance XMPP in Rails yet, but having the option is always very good. Jabberish could very easily be wrapped around Babylon - it's really just a mechanism to abstract the actual XMPP setup away from the user, so they just write messages to it and don't worry about concurrency and the like. I'll see about Babylon support! Very interesting work there. I can't say I've needed super high-performance XMPP in Rails yet, but having the option is always very good.

And I would really love to see more mixed XMPP adn HTTP apps... but, honestly, XMPP4R (and its threaded architecture) really can't handle the load of thousands of messages per minute! I am working on a project that hopes to make XMPP better for Ruby : <a href="http://github.com/julien51/babylon/tree/master" rel="nofollow">http://github.com/julien51/babylon/tree/master</a> Do you think you could "port" Jabberrish to use it?

Do you think you could "port" Jabberrish to use it?
