I would imagine that mongrel and such work fine on 1.9 (at least eventmachine does...but not sure). Wow that is indeed gorgeous.

It's expected to deliver a big performance boost. Another feature is for multi-threading, fibers. There are also a lot of small changes, like the new hash syntax and some of the deprecated methods in 1.8 were completely removed, like Object#type.

But note that Ruby 1.9 is a development release, so we can't expect it to be stable. Also, we need to wait for web servers like Mongrel to support Ruby 1.9.
