I saw mention of vertx in an earlier thread regarding Node.js and VoltDB but this was the first time I've heard of the project. The creator of the project apparently is Tim Fox known for the HornetQ messaging project. Any feedback on this?<p>From the site( http://vertx.io/ ):
What is vert.x?<p>Vert.x is the framework for the next generation of asynchronous, effortlessly scalable, concurrent applications.<p>Vert.x is a framework which takes inspiration from event driven frameworks like node.js, combines it with a distributed event bus and sticks it all on the JVM - a runtime with real concurrency and unrivalled performance. Vert.x then exposes the API in Ruby, Java and Groovy as well as JavaScript.
