    yeah agree, dead was his term, I was surprised to hear that, but he was saying there had been a lot of interest in SV and now it’s moved on..

    to be honnest it’s really hard to measure usage of a library today

    today we don’t have them anymore (maven statistics are lying because of proxies)

    stars on github is another way to measure it

    (btw Vert.x has around 7000 stars on GitHub + stars on other repos)

    people do talk about Vert.x

    and non only the “vert.x core” team sponsored by Red Hat

    you can notice that other non redhat speakers talk about it

    and our dev team has not only RedHat developers (we are only 4 which is very very small)

    now I recognize that Vert.x does not benefit from the same marketting noise that Spring can have for instance

    as I said we are 4 in the team and we are doing most of the evangelization ourselves

    and everyday we talk about Vert.x in the world, it’s a day we cannot really be in our community helping new adopters or do OSS contributions

    @julienviet That's probably part of the problem: it's the first time I hear about Vert.x in months and it's coming from the project lead. Never a good sign 🙂
