But the moment, I wrote this article I was in talks with my employer to open source the Eventmachine port of Scala and open source the Comet Server. Recently, I have switched jobs and my previous employer is no longer interested in open sourcing that stuff and so I am stuck. I am truly sorry to disappoint you.

Just a pretty basic TCP/IP networking library and server. By that definition we should be calling any network program able to listen for incoming connections a comet server (and netcat the ultimate comet swiss army knife). All in all a very misleading title and post about Scala comet server which seems to only serve the purpose of promoting your own commercial app (and technology behind it).

Well done on the Scala front. I've had a look at Erlang in the past and also found it over complex for a lot of work.
