You won't beat it.

The verbosity of it could be reduced if you use a Kotlin project . It seems similar to Ktor though...

Also as a disclaimer: I've been vertx for about 4 years so I will be very bias.

Disclaimer: I've been using netty since I can remember, so I may be very biased.

I briefly skimmed over the website, what made you stick with it for so long? I'm looking at ktor right now and it's starting to look > netty.

In your use case though, how would the application differ if you simply used netty, or switched to ktor, or another library?

Reading the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] originally linked, this was a bit odd... The author benchmarked separate frameworks [excluding Vert.x]

We also initially implemented a Kotlin proof-of-concept in Vert.x, but it turned out none of the team members was keen on the programming paradigm this framework suggested (which may be a subjective matter), so we hadn’t proceeded further with it.

Vertx is more of a toolkit over a socket library. If our concern was just networking, then using whatever would be fine. It just made development easier in every single aspect you could think of.

I'm not going to turn this into a sales pitch but read their docs [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] they're amazing.

Sounds interesting, I'll check it out later today, still looking into ktor.
Cheers =].

Willing to post any of your code samples? I'm starting to like the event bus bridge, and wondering how it's been implemented in rsps.
