Rails has http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Streamin... which I never used. It seems that Lotus::Live isn't ready yet. I can't find any docs for it so I don't know how they compare. Could you point me to an URL. Thanks.

Yes, but ActionController::Streaming is not made for long pooling; what I mean is 1) web sockets and/or server side events support and 2) Raisl streaming helpers (models watching, client events, etc.); essentially, the good parts of node.js frameworks.

Lotus::Live doesn't exist, it is a name example for the feature of which I feel the missing.
