Took a look at Deft, I know well AsyncWeb, and the two projects are really similar. AsyncWeb was abandoned for some weird community issues (the merge of MINA and AsyncWeb communities was badly managed) and because it's much funnier to redo an HTTP from scratch than taking back and abandoned project :) We are currently recoding MINA from scratch (v3.0) so we can share ideas about asynchronous API for network operations, perf tests, etc.. I think the two projects should stay in touch and share background ideas.
