The project I founded, Apache CouchDB, recently hit 1.0 . I'm very proud :)
It's been a long time, but we finally produced a release that's complete, performs well and is rock solid.
Already CouchDB is on over 10 million machines. It's used by big respected websites (like the BBC) and groundbreaking organizations ( Mozilla and Canonical). We run on most * nix, OS X, Windows, and even Android phones. Have dozens of frameworks and client libraries available. …

Read about thin for a while (faster than webrick, faster than mongrel), but didn't really get the chance to try it out, until recently.

Now I know that Windows 2000 didn't use monospace fonts for everything, and it supported backgrounds other than a drab grab, but doing it this way sets a pleasant, calm, nostalgic mood.
