Hi Tim, I remember I took a quick look at node.x a couple of weeks ago. Think I saw some link on HN. I like the idea and I also liked the code I examined. I definitely think Apache Deft could get some inspiration from node.x, and maybe the other way around (?). Would be awesome to share some experience some time. Feel free to come visit us on #deft on free node sometime.
With Best Regards Roger Schildmeijer Ps. Apache Deft is more than just a non-blocking http web server. We (currently) provide an asynchronous socket interface (o.a.d.io.AsynchronousSocket). We recently finished a somewhat bigger demo application (see package o.a.d.demo.elastica) that should give you some ideas about how Apache Deft could be used for async socket/io related stuff.
