Eclipse Vert.x goes Native
This is impressive, although the cynic that I am can't help pointing out that we must have gone wrong somewhere when a "hello world" HTTP server application "only" taking 40MB of RES is seen as an improvement. That'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'm not not being entirely honest, a lot of this overhead is probably a constant and wouldn't grow linearly for more complex applications.
