A fantastic library. We switched Onyx Platform www.onyxplatform.org over to it from Netty, and it was a lot easier to write than the netty messaging layer that we had, which required a lot of tuning and thought to get right.

I learned a lot by reading the code, and it generally forces you to use good patterns that changed how I thought how to build a messaging layer.

The author Martin Thompson is one of those rare breed of developers who understands the sheer inner workings and the effects of his programs from the source to processor.

This breed so not exactly rare as it includes every system programmer at its bare minimum.

I'm sure this is a logical fallacy but if that were true, wouldn't the quality of software on consumer routers be much better?

written in Java? not effected by heap-growth and GC latency?

The driver does not allocate in the main message flow so GC does not factor in. Also the driver can run out of process and not be impacted by client processes.
