This is really cool. Very easy to get up and running for first try. I have a few questions on the architecture.
Why Immutant instead of plain ring as the default? I think the number of dependencies could be much lower with it. I know it's only alpha.. but I'm asking this on behalf of others who might be thinking the same. And, are there plans for NoSQL database support, like MongoDB, MapDB (http://www.mapdb.org/ - I just found out about it myself but this is the only decent in-memory NoSQL solution other than Berkeley DB)?
