Talk:Chat server: Difference between revisions

: With the Tcl solution, a slow write is not (much) of a problem; the output is automatically queued until such time as the client can accept it (at a cost of some memory, of course; that's the source of the “much”, and it's possible to monitor it if necessary though that's rare). I don't know whether the Python solution is the same; it's the sort of thing that really benefits from deep event loop integration in the IO handling layer. (For the record, the Tcl solution should be “usable”. It lacks some features, e.g. authentication, but they're unlikely to alter the core of the chat app much.) –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 09:49, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

:: That's all right. Authentication is not required for this task (keep it simple :). --[[User:Abu|Abu]] 10:06, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
