node.x: JVM framework for event based, highly scalable applications

What is Node.x?

* A general purpose framework that uses an event based style for
building highly scalable applications
* Runs on the JVM.
* Everything is asynchronous.
* Embraces the style of node.js and extends it to the JVM. Think
node.js/on steroids/. Plus some.
* Polyglot. The same (or similar) API will be available in multiple
languages: Initially Ruby (JRuby), Groovy and Java and going
ahead... JavaScript (Rhino/Nashorn), Python (Jython), Clojure, Scala
etc.
* Goes with the recent developments with InvokeDynamic in Java 7 and
bets on the JVM being the future premier runtime for dynamic languages.
* Enables you to create network servers or clients incredibly easily.
* True threading. Unlike node.js, Python Twisted or Ruby EventMachine,
it has true multi-threaded scalability. No more spinning up 32
instances just to utilise the cores on your server.
* Incredibly simple concurrency model. Write your code as single
threaded like node.js, watch it scale across multiple cores (unlike
node.js)
* Understands multiple network protocols out of the box including:
TCP, SSL, UDP, HTTP, HTTPS, Websockets
* Sendfile support for writing super scalable web servers
* Will provide plugins for talking AMQP, STOMP, Redis etc
* Provides an elegant api for composing asynchronous actions together.
Glue together HTTP, AMQP, Redis or whatever in a few lines of code.

Node.x: asynchronous, event-based server framework for the JVM similar to node.js

What is Node.x?

* A general purpose framework that uses an asynchronous event based style for building highly scalable network or file system aware applications

* Polyglot. The same (or similar) API will be available in multiple languages: Ruby, Java, Groovy, (Python?, JS?, Clojure?), etc

RingoJS: JavaScript runtime written in Java

RingoJS is a JavaScript runtime written in Java, based on the Mozilla Rhino JavaScript engine. It is geared to web applications, but can be used for command line or even GUI applications as well.

Features at a Glance

Instant reloading Edit your app, reload the page, and instantly see the changes in your browser.

Full web support Ringo comes with most things you'll need to build real world web applications, and more are available as packages.

Easy debugging Helpful error messages and a full featured graphical debugger: Ringo makes it easy to fix what's wrong.

Pure Java Ringo is written in Java, which means you get the strength of the JVM and a bazillion of Java libraries for free.

It's fast We don't have the world's fastest JS runtime, but Ringo will rip through your average web application. Try for yourself!
