Eclipse Vert.x goes Native
This is impressive, although the cynic that I am can&#x27;t help pointing out that we must have gone wrong somewhere when a &quot;hello world&quot; HTTP server application &quot;only&quot; taking 40MB of RES is seen as an improvement. That&#x27;s more than 40 million bytes to open a socket, receive a few bytes, parse them and then write a few bytes back. The overhead of modern software development is insane.<p>Of course I&#x27;m not not being entirely honest, a lot of this overhead is probably a constant and wouldn&#x27;t grow linearly for more complex applications.
