With regards to Vert.x, it seems like really cool stuff.

On the blog post about version 1 being released it mentions being able to mix and match several programming languages. Does this mean you can use different libraries written in different languages in the same Vert.x server?

Yes indeed. You can mix and match Java, JavaScript, Ruby and Groovy in the same app. We hope to support more languages going ahead (e.g. Java, Scala, ...)

Once you get Scala, I'll be heading your way. :-)

You already have Scala+Async IO+Netty, it's called play framework 2.0

I've used it. Not a fan of many (most) of their design decisions, though it's better than the current alternatives.

+1 for Scala

Might be nice to also see a FAQ about the differences between vert.x and Play 2

Hopefully Scala won't be too long :)
