Better write a Mongo-backed fibonacci generator to check.

If you read the docs we specifically mention the "Fibonacci" farce.

Vert.x (unlike node) does not force you to do everything on the event loop. It has a hybrid model.

For things like long running calculations (e.g. Fibonacci) or calling blocking APIs, we support running them on a background thread pool so you don't end up doing stupid things on an event loop which are not appropriate for it.
