Comparing performance for Rails, Wicket, Grails, Play, Lift, JSP

What surprised me is that even though JSP/JSTL, Rails, Grails and Play use about the same MVC model, the differences in performance are big. 
Most posts about JRuby on Rails tell that it is faster than Ruby on Rails, however in this test, Ruby on Rails was clearly faster in both the rendering of products and concurrent-user test.Also, most posts about Rails tell that Webrick is slower than Mongrel, but in this test, Webrick was a bit faster.JRuby on Rails running on Trinidad does perform faster than other Rails configurations when tested with concurrent users.
Play-Scala using Netty NIO server is faster than Tomcat webserver. I wouldn’t expect the differences to be that big. It’s unclear whether these fast results are caused by Play-Scala being optimized for Netty, or that Netty is simply faster than Tomcat Note that the memory usage of Play-Scala under Netty is a lot higher than under Tomcat.

Backbone.js Tutorial with Rails

Backbone.js really introduces a new kind of data flow for Rails apps. Instead of data flowing like this:
Rails Model => Rails Controller => Rails View
It now flows like this:
Rails Model => Rails Controller => Backbone Model => Backbone Controller => Backbone View

jQote – client-side templating

jQote (pronounced like Star Trek’s Chakotey) is basically a rewrite of John Resig’s awesome JavaScript Micro-Templating utility. I took his code and ported it to jQuery, overhauled the parsing / conversion part and extended it’s functionality to minimize everyone’s coding efforts.

CouchApp – JavaScript Applications with CouchDB

CouchApps are JavaScript and HTML5 applications served directly from CouchDB. If you can fit your application into those constraints, then you get CouchDB’s scalability and flexibility “for free” (and deploying your app is as simple as replicating it to the production server).

vaadin – java framework for Rich UI

Vaadin is a web application framework for Rich Internet Applications (RIA). In contrast to Javascript libraries and browser-plugin based solutions, it features a server-side architecture, which means that the largest part of the logic runs on the server. Ajax technology is used on the browser side to ensure a rich and interactive user experience.
Vaadin is not new. Vaadin development began in 2000 as an internal product of IT Mill. It was officially open-sourced in December 2007 under the name IT Mill Toolkit 5. In 2009, the name was changed to Vaadin – we think Vaadin sounds a lot cooler!

CoffeeScript – a terse dsl for javascript

CoffeeScript is a little language that compiles into JavaScript. Underneath all of those embarrassing braces and semicolons, JavaScript has always had a gorgeous object model at its heart. CoffeeScript is an attempt to expose the good parts of JavaScript in a simple way.
The golden rule of CoffeeScript is: “It’s just JavaScript”. The code compiles one-to-one into the equivalent JS, and there is no interpretation at runtime.
