		pmjordan on July 2, 2010 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Compojure 0.4.0 released There's an epoll-based implementation of the java.nio.channels.Selector so JNI should hopefully not be necessary. I haven't tried netty yet, it seems a lot more heavyweight than xSocket/xLightweb? Or is my perception warped because it's hosted on jboss.org and the description uses "enterprise-friendly" language?

From everything I've read Netty looks like a champ compared to all other NIO servers. :-)

So, I'm quite excited to have found the answer to my question, AND someone has already started a clojure/netty project:

Check out these comparisons of Netty vs others:
