There are a lot of good articles to read today. First, on High Scalability we get a post about an async Tarantool queue. It is interesting reading if you are into that kind of thing. Also on the performance front, we get an article on Java Code Geeks about scalable I/O and whether to use event-based or multithread-based processing. Lastly we have a post from Julia Evans about “the stack”. It is a nice post, but the real reason for sharing is that Julia is becoming another of my favorite reads and reinforcing a trend of more excellent female tech bloggers. She definitely has a blog that you should start following.

As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
