EventMachine supports an actor-style threading model, which may be what Tony was comparing it to; pretty clearly, Tony Arcieri knows EventMachine and async programming --- he's one of the better known people in the EventMachine "community".

Does that make every multi-threaded network daemon that manages a thread pool of connections a 'half-assed implementation of EventMachine' then?
