This comparison (in the blog post) makes the same mistake that many such 
comparisons make.  The division of libraries into the arbitrary 
categories of "reactor model" and "coroutine" is artificial.

See corotwine for an example of using Twisted and coroutines.  And see 
txwsgi (announced here a week or two ago by Manlio Perillo) for a 
Twisted-based wsgi container which supports applications that look 
almost identical to the eventlet/gevent wsgi applications used in this 
comparison.

And take a look at how eventlet and gevent are implemented, and you'll 
find something that's essentially the same as a Twisted reactor.
