Hi, Thanks for writing out, I am the maintain of the Jubilee project.
Glad you find the project useful, Gisborne.Please keep me posted about your new project, I'll be glad to help if you run into any issues. Vert.x is a very cool technology, the incoming version 3.0 has tons new features <https://github.com/eclipse/vert.x/wiki/Vert.x-3.0-plan>, and all that will be available on Jubilee once the new version is released. Jubilee is designed to be run in two different ways, as a rubygem or as a vertx module, the former shown by Forrest Chang is more ruby specific, and the later feels more natural when deploy with polyglot "verticles". The project still needs more love and attention, please help spread the word.Bug reports and PR are always welcome.
