One of the key things that was kinda skimmed over: You should check out http://github.com/twitter/finagle.

It takes async network programming with netty into a functional programming paradigm. Programming scala/finagle network services is much nicer IMO than coffeescript, ruby/em/fibers, raw netty. I can't wait until we release our finagle-based cassandra client. It's been really nice to work with.

Here's some sample code:

I've been using Finagle over the last couple of weeks to build a small little side-project. It's been almost a religious experience for me. This is how network programming should be done.


I clicked that link, because it seemed like it might be interesting. Nice to hear that it's still working for you after implementing something in it.

Also, I may be in need of a nice async cassandra client very soon, any chance of an alpha preview? (e-mail in profile)
