Abstract
Vert.x is an event driven application framework that runs on the JVM – a run-time with real concurrency and unrivalled performance. Vert.x then exposes the API in Ruby, Java, Groovy and JavaScript. So you choose what language you want to use. (Scala, Clojure and Python support is on the roadmap too).
Vert.x also bundles a host of goodies out-of-the-box including a distributed event bus, Web Sockets, SockJS, a MongoDB persistor and many other features so you can write real applications from the set-off.
