Reel is a fast, non-blocking "evented" web server built on [http_parser.rb][parser],

Connections to Reel can be either non-blocking and handled entirely within
the Reel::Server thread, or the same connections can be dispatched to worker
threads where they will perform ordinary blocking IO. Reel provides no
built-in thread pool, however you can build one yourself using Celluloid.pool,
