Had an interesting discussion with Tim, Vert.x author. About promises in the core API and more generally about intergration in existing Java applications. As expected, promises will stay outside the core, in modules. I would have preferred a promise-oriented API in the core, but current debates opposing RxJava and pure promise approaches are not going towards getting rid of handlers passed as parameters.
I urged him to care about the Java community which is in my sense (and also according to website doc logs) the main target audience. Mostly about integrability with other Java technologies and frameworks. Competition from Akka is there and asynchronous Spring is coming and will probably be strong.
